Was once a great company but took a turn for the worst

CEO approval

Pros

Fun environment Great perks Meaningful work.

Cons

When the new CEO came in it was clear he had plans to sell the company as there was no communication. Employees who were once their best assets were treated like they didn't matter. Also, this is not the best company for diverse employees. There are few to no diverse management leaders. They give lip service to diversity but their practices disregards the successes of excellent diverse employees.

Pros

It been a year so I would not know what perks are left. You get a phone for company use.

Cons

The company changed it's coin field from techs to service people and are paying them half of what they used to pay. Over the last year they have pushed out all the long time techs for people that can only do cleaning on the units. Managers are trying to cover for lack of techs.
