Pros

Free dental for individuals (not family). Welcome basket with coffee mug. Convenient office locations. Great service technicians and boiler makers.

Cons

Good ol’ boy environment that management likes to call “family environment”. General Managers are rarely held accountable for their offices and employees. Management blames customers for problems instead of owning and taking responsibility for their equipment issues. Management micromanages from a distance instead of being actively involved in the sales cycle and troubleshooting. Ambiguous sales compensation program (commission structure). Over priced equipment that is inferior to competition. Multiple CRM systems to maintain sales data. Kaiser Permanente health insurance... HR is friendly but does not understand more complex questions. No sick time—you must use vacation time. No car allowance. You must use your own personal car insurance. No company credit card. No Project Manager to take load off Sales team. Project Engineers are slow and can’t deliver assignments on time and consistently. Long drawn out interview process.

Good training, depending on the department you're in. Stable company that had steady business. Lots of overtime pay. Great upper management.

Cons

Lack of service cross training, unpredictable schedule, on call rotation with little incentive.
