Pros

Work hours we demanding with unrealistic goals set in place for everyone from the higher ups. They would hire managers who had no experience as a technician and poor understanding of what is actuall possible to do. They only focused on looking good for corporate by pushing their technicians .

Cons

benefits are good pay is not great

Pros

Good compensation and benefit options including plans with $0 cost for the employee. Cutting edge technology and a fast-growing company. Also, an excellent DEI company, which is odd considering who the CEO is. I guess they just don't tell him they have DEI programs.

Cons

Workload level and performance expectations that are unreasonable and unsustainable. Also, CEO has public verbal altercations with people he disagrees with and uses language and terminology that is offensive. Lastly, constant threat of layoffs. It happens so frequently within the company we would refer to it as the purge, and it would happy each year and sometimes twice a year.
