Pros

Large, global organisation with a strong mission statement and potential to do great things.

Cons

Bureaucratic, slow and highly relationship driven. Eager to transform but with a core culture based on employees who have been there a long time and are less able/willing to change. Hierarchical and strong focus on managing upwards rather than down in the organisation in order to succeed (or be seen as such). To make an impact and progress career wise it requires building personal relationships with an "inner circle" of people who are not overly inclusive.

Pros

- Decent pay and good benefits - work truck with gas card -good experience

Cons

- management is disconnected from field employees - review process does not reflect employee performance since managers do not go out in field in order to properly assess job performance - poor communication which leads to chaotic project implementation - no standardization of necessary info for each customer site. You walk in completely blind each time you visit a customer you’ve never been to - safety is important, but corporate pushes redundant messaging so frequently i believe it has the opposite of the intended effect - forced to wear long sleeves FR shirts in hot weather even when you are not exposed to fire hazards any more than a standard office employee
