Its never your fault

Pros

If you call it a pro potential to move up in the company quickly just be expected to pack up all your stuff and family and move across the country to some god forsaken place

Cons

Really to many to list they preach safety safety safety. However safety goes right out the window if their is a time crunch or a deadline to meet. Then it is do whatever in the hell it takes to get the job done. Will work you like a slave and pay you that rate to.

Growing pains

Pros

Large, privately held company with very strong culture and values. Integrity is of the highest regard if you want a long term career here. Has historically had a very personable, small company feel.

Cons

The company is growing very quickly, which is diminishing some of the culture that I have historically enjoyed. With the fast growth, operational support is often lacking, and senior management is becoming less connected with front line challenges. I hope that this will resolve itself soon, but the company has an aggressive growth strategy.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay for my area. Flexable family work schedule.

Cons

Very poor insurance. No medical leave. Had to use vacation when I had to take off for surgery. Supervisor didn't do much of anything but drive around. I've never worked for a company where the supervisor had no paper work at the end of the day and not accountable for anything. Supervisors and management rarely follow employees suggestions or ideas. Preventive maintenance is pretty much unheard of at our operation. It has to be a catastrophic failure for the mech to fix.
