Pros

The people that work there are truly supportive, professional, and a joy to work with. The compressed work schedule is awesome that facilitates a nice work-life balance. Pay is on par with other companies but discounted stock options, 2 bonuses a year, overtime pay (5th day you get time and a half for a 12-hour shift), and supplemental OT bonuses for certain days will really increase the paycheck. Consequently, some Technicians who put in the extra hours will make more than the Supervisor they work for. Many opportunities for promotions.

Cons

12-hour shifts are not for everyone, especially the night shift. However, one gets used to it. There are differences in following policies between shifts that result in some shifts picking up other shifts' slack which can be frustrating. Like any big corporation, communication is at times difficult between shifts. Accountability seems to not be enforced by management.
