Pros
Was hired in at decent pay, raise after 90 days, get your own cubicle and locker, some intelligent and pleasant co-workers, an hour for lunch, nice bathrooms, some exercise equipment upstairs, personal trainer comes 3x a week, right off 77, quick interview process, benefits after 90 days including life insurance, they introduced me to everyone when I first started
Cons
-Family owned & operated, nepotism is obvious. I've seen family members throw hissy fits and threaten to quit. -Stressful & serious environment 95% of the time. -Certain co-workers are angry, unprofessional and rude every day, adds to stress & difficult to learn. My training questions were met with condescension and hostility. - The family is always cussing and yelling at each other, techs, vendors, etc. - Employees are in the hot seat daily, frequently getting blamed and/or yelled at. - My training process was unorganized, confusing, and lacking. - They don’t understand why things take new employees time. They wanted me to complete large tasks in an absurd amount of time (I wanted to ensure I did things correctly so I didn't get yelled at). They didn't understand my training and learning needs. They thought my methods for organization were a waste of time. - A lot of mistakes were made by others which made my work take longer. - Everyone gossips and whispers about each other. I knew when ppl were whispering about me. - Unorganized company, old school, still quotes in Excel. They use 3 different software platforms. No one wants to use the software correctly/maximum potential, they think it would take too much time to transfer & learn. - I was told the techs' schedule is only 60% accurate in the software, one person is essentially in charge of scheduling and not everything makes it on the official schedule. - Unprofessional environment. I was also asked my political views in a group meeting, and was told by the owner that the best political view is Conservative Republican. Another family member then said she believed I was a Democrat. Fox News is always playing in the front lobby. - Strict, felt like I was under a microscope. Inter-office chat is strictly policed. Most days I rarely said anything to anyone because I was made to feel I was behind on my tasks (I'm usually known for being super-efficient). - Daily random (long) management meetings that seem to take away from work getting done. - Potential to be on call after hours and on weekends. Potential to work weekends- project based. - I felt I would never get any credit at this company, and I couldn't thrive there. - Shared driveway is full of huge potholes. -Having a personality matters Zero there. You're a peon. - This was the first job I've ever been fired from, and after 2.5 weeks. There was little explanation or warning. I felt it was political and that certain family members didn't like me or felt threatened by me. Given how the company is ran, I wasn't very surprised at my sudden termination.
