Pros

Some of the people are nice. However, it's the ones who see the company for what it is and try to make the best out of it. These people ultimately end up being your support group once you take off the rose colored glasses and realize that you won't be treated fairly because you aren't part of the "clique." Kirk, Stephanie, Jack, And a few others are the only ones who make this sweat shop bearable.

Cons

No stability. No room for growth unless you make friends with the higher-ups or if you are a cute girl. Lack of knowledge, organization, and managerial skills across the board. There are a select few decent higher ups, however, they let themselves be controlled by the others. You can't blame them, we all need our paycheck. Trust no one, they will turn on you in a heartbeat. Also, your job stability is often reflective of your peers point of view. I would say that this is objective but some of these peers that are in competition for your position. That being said, their review of your performance is still considered "objective."

Pros

Flexibility. I mostly worked between 5-7 hours a day which was very nice as a salaried employee. I also was able to start my day a little early or late. I didn't have to interact with many people throughout my day either which was sometimes a plus.

Cons

Poor pay, benefits and horrible reimbursements. They will make you drive your own personal vehicle as a field consultant and only comp you for gas and oil changes and only $500 for tires a year. This does not make up for the many, many miles a week they make you drive. I had sites that were a hour away that they considered my commute to work. No overtime pay either for rain events. There is absolutely no reason to take this job unless you are a fresh grad looking for experience but I would recommend you keep applying for new jobs throughout the time you train and work there. Also its not really possible to just take off one day whenever need be or call in sick because then someone would have to fly out to cover you because reports must be done every 7 days.
