Pros

If you want to work...... A LOT!!! then this is the place for you. Its pretty good pay and there is plenty of oportunity to make $50k+ for just being blue collar.

Cons

They will work you till you fall apart. They care nothing about you or your family. You are replaceable and can be replaced by tomorow. 6 or 7 days a week when its busy. 12 hour days that you are forced to work. Not to mention the health aspect of working around lead, and repetative motion.

Pros

The benefits provided are better than most companies in the industry (controls.) Some very good people - technically competent and willing to help - are working there. An industry leader in technology.

Cons

Regional management has NO concern except the bottom line. They intentionally understaff field personnel (to save labor costs) and drive the people they do have to the burnout point. Salaried field staff is EXPECTED to work 60+ hours weekly. Anyone NOT willing to do so is subject to unequal treatment, fabricated bad reviews, and management harrassment. Customer satisfaction is secondary (at best) to the Bottom Line of regional and higher levels of management. Employee issues are even lower on the priority list. "Empire Builders" abound, and brown-nosing is the most effective means of advancement and better treatment. Regional and Branch management talk a good game when it comes to promoting "teamwork," but are unaware of how to even begin to "Walk the Walk."

Pros

The pay was terrific, the harder you worked the more you got paid. The poeple were pleasant to work with.

Cons

Extremly dangerous work environment. Burned by hot lead pots and left with scars every day. Fork lift trucks flying around corners sideways.
