VA. branch "Not the place to be"!

Pros

"Never" to return!! Other than that free food was actually pretty good.

Cons

Strange techs to be around! nasty hygiene and immature techs, not all just the younger guys and two former employees. really don't care to hear about before I started their downtime for amusement was throwing frozen bird feces at one another. Also hearing about how one tech likes to defecate on bathroom floor in hotels for fun when work is out of town. Not my thing to see them 'touching' on one another and asking for sexual advances claiming they're joking. "Yeah" right actions speak louder than words! hilarious how one former manager was fired making a total of '8' jobs in a row he was terminated from. This branch tolerates a lot of nonsense and not to mention how most techs didn't care about the covid situation.

Pros

Above average industry pay and benefits

Cons

Odd structure for a professional services firm, private equity owned. So market growth and project profitably come before quality service and professional ethics.
