Pros

Previous managers were great. Employee price matching 401k. Level 1 technicians will be trained to perform higher level tasks.

Cons

New manager is lazy and actively tried to make people quit. If you don't quit, he'll lie to HR and try to get them to fire you. I've seen and heard him stand and talk to other employees about an employee he's targeting. They just stand and talk for an hour straight. He did this to multiple people over the course of 9 months.
