Pros

Flexible for break/fix work, but that's about it. The company thinks very little of its technicians, who have ample experience and skill. I can't speak for the other 80+% of employees who think very highly of the company as reflected in that "Best Places to Work" survey.

Cons

They're a P.E. company (Private Equity), so, unless they determine that you can help maximize their ROI (Return on Investment). I suggest that you think twice before applying, or do some extensive research on your market value, before accepting what they offer if you choose to trade your valuable time to work for them, because they will definitely attempt to low-ball you at 50% of what you're actually worth. They inadvertently admitted as much during an inaugural meeting about how employees in operations can grow their careers. Needless to say, that was the last meeting they did—typical corporate shenanigans, I guess. My annual pay is about 22% less than what my actual base salary should be, meaning I'm finally earning close to what I earned in 2018, and that doesn't include my years of gained experience, skills, and education. As I said, unless what I do has a significant impact on their ROI, there's no chance of earning anything beyond the typical 3% "merit" increase, if even that. Let's not get into the absurd cost of living after the COVID thing, and many other of their practices that would be out of compliance if I chose to be vindictive and involve the labor commission. It's not worth my time, though. I take advantage of other perks afforded to me by my role that compensate for the lack of a proper wage.

Pros

I worked at a site that was far removed from leadership. As such, there was little involvement in my day to day, which also meant very little oversight from management. Best perks were the flexible PTO. Salary was solid for the work required.

Cons

There was no consistent cost of living raise, nor any form of bonus or incentive pay structure to encourage loyalty to the company. Because of the very hands off approach from management, one of my fellow employees abused the flexible time off system horribly, but she was never in danger of losing her job because management refused to address it even when it was brought up several times.
