Pros

Co-workers are very friendly and helpful. I liked working with the very few local people who are still employed at ECRS. Opportunity to learn.

Cons

Management changes constantly, and the manager you do get is only in that position because they played politics. You'll be micromanaged daily and have set goals regardless of daily emergencies. The constant turnover makes everyone's daily activities more stressful. People get fired for not echoing the "family-oriented" speech of upper management, and nepotism is rampant at ECRS. Your input is never welcomed, even if they tell you otherwise. Pay is not good for the area or the tech field. Hard work is rarely rewarded, even when stepping up and taking on additional tasks. The very little training you get is minimal, and you'll be thrown into new tasks constantly. Some Long-term employees are rude, disrespectful, and narcissistic. The Boone area is full of college students and tourists. The area is not good for professionals, with housing being very expensive and rent being very high. It is nearly impossible to find a place to rent. You'll have a very tough time finding a place to live with no assistance from ECRS.

ECRS is a great company for those who strive to build a career based on integrity, transparency, commitment, and accountability. You will work hard, have frustrating, overwhelming days, make mistakes, and learn valuable lessons. You will also experience the pride of accomplishment, work with customers who love your product and company, and have opportunity for long-term career fulfillment and growth if you seek it and prove yourself based on real-results.

Cons

If are person looking to coast along as average, can't accept feedback, or make excuses instead of progress, it will not be a fit.
