Pros

Competitive salary, not much else

Cons

Inexperienced management with a constant condescending/disrespectful attitude. Mandatory 60+ hours a week on salary for 43 hours. Mandatory weekends without compensation on salary. Zero work/life balance. HR is unavailable and provided no support to me as an operations manager. Upper management has no idea what the conditions are in the individual locations and don’t seem to care.

Pros

Plenty of hours between 75 to 80 hours a week minimum. Good place to get experience as a stepping stone.

Cons

You're always on call it is mandatory that you work three weekends a month both Saturday and Sunday including the 5-day work weeks Monday through Friday Technician. As a coordinator you work 6 day work weeks Sunday through Friday you only get Saturdays off it's a salary based position so you get no compensation if you work over 8 hours a day as a coordinator and you will work more than 8 hours a day your minimum will be 12 to 14 hours a day up to a maximum of 18 hours a day regularly.
