Pros

My immediate team is a dedicated and highly skilled group doing well above average quality work.

Cons

Upper management and C-suite doesn't understand much of the company's service lines.If working remote, the VPN is basically unusable. Dial up modem speeds from the 90's is faster (literally). Contract review and execution is painfully slow and irritating to clients. Clients don't expect the nit-picking of terms in this service line along with being hounded by collections that don't understand payment terms. IT department is slow to respond and doesn't understand the software needs of the service lines. Field positions with company trucks are now monitored with in-cab cameras. Annual raises are not even close to keeping pace with inflation even with stellar reviews. Vendors are getting paid late. Policies set for getting anything done are like a Rube Goldberg machine. The company is falling way behind peers in performance and productivity because it doesn't trust managers to make any decisions and only loads up PM's with ridiculous red tape.

Pros

Work with amazing co-workers. Everyone gets along like a family.

Cons

Upper management seems disconnected from what’s actually needed at the local level to keep clients satisfied—we’re losing too many of them. It takes significant time and expense to start and finalize contracts, and delays are pushing clients to go elsewhere. There should be more flexibility to pursue smaller jobs so we can stay competitive with other companies. While landing six-figure contracts benefits overall profits, it doesn’t always support employees in the short term. Those larger projects often take time to secure, and in the meantime, smaller jobs are what keep people working and earning a steady income. That consistency is essential for covering everyday expenses like food, utilities, and other necessities. Relying on employees to use PTO or sick time to bridge these gaps isn’t sustainable—it eventually runs out. This leads to longer hours, fewer breaks, and little opportunity to rest or spend time with family. A better balance between large and small projects would help support both the company’s goals and the well-being of its employees.
