Pros

Mechanics, technicians, fellow office workers were amazing to work with and truly kept me going many days

Cons

Workload is extremely high. Managers hold you to a standard they do not hold themselves to. Email replies were expected within 24 hours, but managers could take a week or more to respond. Expected to maintain a 90% or higher at all times - mentality of pass or fail. Most folks work 50 or more hours each week, every week. Not unheard of for managers and sales executives to work 12 or more hours 5-6 days a week. Over the last year, there has been an increase of micromanagement. Everything you do is under a microscope, and one wrong move gets you on the bad side of the managers.
