Pros

Good benefits and okay pay

Cons

The management is terrible and work ethic is very corporate. They expect you to get everything done even when communicating that there's some scheduling overlap. For example, I was scheduled to be doing two things at once for 3 days in a row. You would be like well how does that happen or just notify your leader/management right? Well I did. I have 3 mangers to report to and all of them think they're hot sh!+. So nothing got communicated back to me and I got chewed out for not being elsewhere when I was at, what seemed like to me, the most important job site. They bate and switch you into think this company is so nice and well organized, but they're not. Just a bunch of grown babies running outdated HVAC control systems. They preach about how important safety is to them. I got laughed at in a training meeting mentioning if we should turn down a job if it's unsafe. Mind you I asked because I just experienced what seemed to me an unsafe environment where the commissioning agent , myself and one other individual clearly smelled a natural gas leak. I was still expected to work there, but we get thought to notify and leave until the leak is discovered.

The benefits are good for the most part.

Overwhelming amount of tasks. Paying for company vehicle as a manager reduces your overall income. Made more money in the field. Overly competitive atmosphere within the company, No work-life balance, Nepotizm is ramped.
