Pros

Pay, Benefits, pretty good opportunity to move up. Though I can't say that I recommend that too much. Company is in numerous cities nationwide. Also an extremely strong competitor in the industry, putting many out of business.

Cons

Very high expectations, often unreal. Also not big on training. Management can get moved to very very long commutes, occasionally 2 hours long one way. Company is extremely geared towards shareholders, which can be a pro if you happen to purchase and even receive their stock.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
