No Work Life Balance

Pros

If you have no personal life, no family, and like to keep your head stuck in a hole, it is a good place to work. If you don't mind a lot of backward office politics and half finished comments because company policy forbids "pointing fingers" instead of actually building trust and correctly completing projects, this is the place for you. If you like working with people who hate coming to work and complain all the time, this is your place!

Cons

Corporate obstacles too big to overcome for those who really want to do a good job. Corporate staff have a high turn over. Just when you think you know who to talk to, they leave and no one tells anyone like it is a big secret.

Pros

The work environment is pretty laid back. Honestly, doesn't feel like a job. I enjoy going to work.

Cons

Here is where my rant starts. People need to start being held accountable. Currently, as a field engineer, I've been doing everything from proposals, project managing, and getting out in the field to do technician work. I read all these reviews about technicians complaining. I understand they are the ones doing the hard work but it's some of them that are a liability. Falsified reports, stealing time, incomplete reports, reports with horrible information, and so on. Then they complain about pay when I can't even get one report to review and send out. I have to spend extra time making it legible and presentable to the clients. I understand that they might need more time training but when they don't speak up it's hard knowing how prepared they are.

Pros

Large, growing company. Really like my co-workers. Good benefits, aside from pay.

Cons

Pay could be a lot better! Lot of stress to meet internal goals. Management basically wants you to be a salesperson. Good place to work for young professionals trying to gain experience, but not for a long term career.
