Pros

Great team atmosphere. I have great co-workers. People make an effort to help each other out in solving problems... that's the ESOP mentality, ownership "we own the solution."

Cons

AVI has a flat organizational structure making it easy to move sideways but almost impossible to move up or be promoted from within. $6000 healthcare deductible is a essentially a pay decrease. It was most disheartening when not long after AVI purchased Dascom Group another employee told me he was rejected for asking for a $.50 hourly raise because the company "doesn't have the money."

Pros

Very friendly and helpful peers. Employee ownership is a true benefit financially and culturally, there is a true sense of ownership top down.

Cons

Poor work life balance, management micro-manages activity and hyper critical. Onboarding was slow and somehow there was still expectation for high activity.
