Low pay for what you do - Field Service Technician Battenfeld-Cincinnati Employee Review

The pay was very good for someone recently out of college. Even before overtime, I had a healthy wage that was good compensation for my skills and experience level. The work was interesting and engaging. My skills were often put to good use and I felt like I contributed to the overall health of the company. Some coworkers were pleasant and made the working day enjoyable when they were around.

The work schedule was often unpredictable. There was not enough PTO to schedule off for every event I wanted to go to after work (understandably), but since my travel calendar was rarely filled in past a couple of months I had a hard time making after work commitments. Some coworkers had a decidedly negative attitude about things that sometimes made them unpleasant to work with. Staffing was often thin so many people were expected to fill multiple roles simultaneously. Hours were sometimes long and jobs often didn't go according to plan, but this is not unusual for this kind of work so I cannot fault B-A for it.

Wages are good, annual increases, opportunities for advancement and good coworkers
