Pros

Good private stock, made a small fortune. Great employees, mostly the Field Technicians. Got to learn how to paint the office. Got to call the Jim Rome Show with a company cellphone. Good 401(k) plans available.

Cons

Long work hours, and little respect for those who do the actual work. Top heavy management. Good Ol' boy network in full effect. Management is hypocritical, as they can't pass the Chauncy Test, but you will have to do so. Any questions regarding the Chauncy Test need to be directed to veteran technicians and to middle management department heads, as passing the Chauncy Test will be instrumental in your success as a technician. No room for advancement at all. Got old dealing with attorneys.
