Strong values overshadowed by favoritism and double standards

Pros

Empire has a legacy of long-tenured employees, great values, and strong guiding principles.

Cons

Empire is a male-dominated company that tends to give special treatment and additional perks to men of equal position, such as company vehicles and advancement opportunities. There are double standards in conduct. There are cases of favoritism - the saying, " it's not what you know but who you know, " definitely applies here.

Pros

The benefits don't seem too bad.

Cons

I’ve worked as a Field Service Technician here, and unfortunately, my experience has been very disappointing. The working conditions are far from what was presented during the interview process. There were multiple times where expectations, responsibilities, and overall workload were misrepresented, which set the tone for my frustration. I’ve shared my concerns with the manager, and they don’t seem to care. As an experienced Technician, I know better and how things are supposed to be. I really regret leaving my previous employer to join Empire.
