Pros

Excellent pay Supervisors are available for assistance and support Great benefits (medical, dental, vision w/401K match Occasional business travel Company retreats, picnics, luncheons, and raffles Salary benefits but they do pay overtime (1.5x your estimated hourly rate) Opportunity to earn quarterly bonuses (up to 4% of your annual salary) Supply any office supplies you may request Paid time off Paid sick leave

Cons

Amount of work asked to complete is beyond achievable (you will never be caught up) Requirements needed to meet your full bonus are nearly impossible(you will receive partial bonuses though) Supervisors are helpful however they will not stick up for you to the managers...EVER Managers over the course of time, are working harder and harder to micro-manage their employees If you do not pull your weight, you will be let go. If fired, they will fight unemployment benefits HR provides no support and makes it clear that you are being a nuisance if you do go to them for any reason You will NEVER be promoted if you do not have at least a 4 year college degree DO NOT MAKE WAVES! While it is usually a comfortable and drama free environment, should you speak out for any reason that management doesn’t like, you will have a target on your back while they slowly work on letting you go

Pros

- All of the people I've met actually care about employee development - Haven't met anyone who turns their nose up and people that report to them (I'm sure they're out there but the overall experience is positive) - This company will pay you if you can prove you're worth it - This company will get rid of you if you can't pull your weight! - Promotes from within consistently, they take care of their own - Give you a choice of transportation (car, small truck, big truck) - Great on boarding process (most companies hand you a phone & computer and tell you 'good luck') - Great tools and databases, really try to equip you for success - Find a good Branch Manager and your life will be a dream

Cons

- Health Care is expensive! Highest of the companies I've worked for. They try to help out but it's still pretty expensive. They think it's competitive with others but it's not. I think they try and supplement the high cost by paying a little more but it didn't stop me from signing on. - They charge you for your vehicle (some other do, some don't). The car is the cheapest but if you get a full-size truck you'll pay for it! - Hiring process is SLOOOOOOOOOOW (Hope you're not in a rush). - They use Verizon (BLAH!) - At the superintendent level most of your cons (or pros for that matter) will depend on your Branch Manager.
