Pros

Vehicle for personal use Benefits (401k, Stock Purchase Plan, Health Insurance)

Cons

On-Call 24/7 essentially. If a laundry machine at a hospital goes down @ 11:00 p.m., guess what? You're going to fix it. Ever seen the inside of a plumbers or electricians van? That's exactly the way the inside of the vehicle you're provided for "personal use" as well will look. You are an Appliance Repairman... no way round it. Yet, you're also required to be a sales person. It's 90% service 10% sales. Rolling around on nasty dish room floors, smelling soaked laundry in nursing homes, burning your arms steam pipes, dealing with chemicals that will dissolve your eye as soon as it touches it.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
