Pros

investment in technology when it comes to *SOME things, fair hiring practices.

Cons

hourly rate seems high at first but in comparison to how many hours you are actually working and the low productivity of trips scheduled you actually end up working harder not smarter, uniforms are not flattering and feedback isn't valued, safety is only put first if you are part of the "old guard"

Pros

Good work environment and culture. Leadership is strong.

Cons

Terrible compensation practice. Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles. Leaders have zero say in salaries. The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with. There needs to be a willingness to change and align with the local job market. There needs to be an openness to listen to leaders' input. Its hard to hire and hard to attract retain good employees when we are competing with local employers in the Seattle area that offer better pay. It is very challenging to work with a compensation leader and team that do not listen.
