Pros

Coworkers are easy to get along with. PTO is good Sick time is good Work life balance on nights is great Most customers are great to work with.

Cons

They need a better system for training new hirers. Most are thrown into the job setting them up for failure or not given equal opportunity for success like others. More reliability when it comes to teaching employees that want to learn or be trained. Need fair compensation for those who wear many hats and take on several responsibilities out of their job description. You can be hired to do one job and your workload triples and still given the same pay. Better filtering systems to separate managers vs leaders, so they hire the right people for authoritative positions, they desperately need leaders and not managers. Political games are played, walk on egg shells around certain people to stay on their good side. Work life balance on days suffers for some. Benefits could be better. Communication is highly needed in this company and it is the one thing they most suffer with. Safety on the outside appears to be cared for but following through with safety regulations is little to none. Many consistent violations until someone is almost injured then safety is priority for a season then back to the old way. What is allowed and what isn’t allowed is inconsistent their word changes like the wind it’s very difficult to follow at times.
