Pros

The new management has brought considerable more experience and drive to the business. Previous management dictated the way forward, current leadership says its our company to make of it what we want. since then share price has increased 350% The employment benefits have significantly increased, more holiday for new starters, your birthday as holiday every year, and not part of your entitlement. Simply health, health care support, get your pennies back for all your dental, doctors and health checks. There is a clear direction with their mission, vision and values. Product reliability issues seem to have been resolved as shown in the share price and the shop floor are able to build a better product with better tools in a better environment. Training and promotion is more evident now. Free tea and coffee always helps.

Cons

Business is growing and finding the right people to join the team is not easy, therefore putting pressure on existing staff to deliver more. Salaries could be higher but they are definitely better that what they used to be.

Pros

Travelling was enjoyable, and the techs all generally enjoyed a great camaraderie.

Cons

1. Expected to front the funds for your meals, gas/tolls while traveling, and if you were lucky they paid you back at the end of the month on time. These are people traveling ~75% and making under $45K. 2. Turnover was high. Work was hard and compensation small. 3. Major layoffs occurred this year. People that weren't laid off generally jumped ship. 4. ZERO support from headquarters in the UK. Lead time on spare parts, if you could ever get them, was at least a month. The technology is over a decade behind that of competitors. 5. Expected to be in the office if you weren't on the road. "on the road" usually consisted of 60-70 hour work weeks starting with 6AM monday flights, but they made us come in 8-5 regardless if we were not travelling. 6. Logistics department had zero understanding of what it was like to travel. They would cheap out and give you a 2 star fleabag hotel instead of a decent one over a $10.00/night difference. A nonstop flight was unheard of - their bottom line was more important than letting staff enjoy time with their families. 3 layovers was not out of the ordinary. 7. Financial controller at the time was rude, arrogant, and nasty.
