      Pros

      The people you work with on a day to day basis are by and by excellent co-workers, and mostly friendly people. Throughout the majority of my stint doing a few different jobs at a couple of different locations it was one of the main consistencies I saw. The work is also fast paced, which to some may be a negative, but for me it was just fast paced enough to make the day go by quick, but not to work you like a dog (although there were certainly days where it felt like it, nature of the beast though). And this is case by case, but my branch managers (read: direct managers) were fantastic. They generally came from the ground up, and understood what it took to run a branch, while also working with people through any difficulties or changes. All of my direct managers understood that things happen and often times you just need a day, or maybe even a week away. Imagine this depends on the branch, but I saw it multiple times. They were also honest and fair about how to improve if there were any needed.

      Cons

      The largest issue is the micro-management. Where as I once felt like I had a say in day-to-day branch operations, by the end of it I was worried I was going to get my hand slapped for saying yes or no to any request that came through. It creates a toxic work environment and didn't lend itself well to morale or company culture. Keep in mind, this micro-management was NOT coming branch level managers, but from upper management aka district level management. It took every bit of fun out of the job. Pay is also a huge issue. The raises are miniscule, are definitely not consistent with inflation, and they will flatly hire someone on with less skill than you and pay them 2.50 more. I know this, because it happened to me. It's a part of what led me to my new job. That leads into the long days. I know for some M-F, 7-5 is not bad, but it's not for me. Too many times an issue comes up and you're expected to come in early, go in on a Saturday or stay way later than originally intended. Absolutely no work-life balance. There's also not much diversity, so if that's what you want or look for in a company, you are not going to get it here.

      Pros

      Competitive salary for the industry. Have all the resources you need to complete your job. Management is helpful and attentive.

      Cons

      Can be mundane as you’re doing the same thing all the time. Can be stressful to meet contract and customer needs with broken equipment needing repairs asap.
