Pros

It's a job, some good techs that i work with. We get paid weekly.

Cons

Cheapest company around. No Christmas bonus, no party. Takes forever to get needed tools. They get us death trap Ford escapes to drive. If you break down good luck with Element actually helping. Techs is responsible for way to.much. From quoting all work, to ordering and tracking jobs and parts. Our applications and programs don't work. IT most famous saying is not my job and call someone else. No real HR at the branch, have a timecard issue? Send an email and they will send it to someone in India who will then transfer it to someone else 2 weeks later they will try to call you at 4 am. Not enough time to complete all the paperwork, ordering etc. They want you to do company training and administrative task while billing a customer. Almost everyone in the office is angry and overwhelmed.

Pros

* Remote * Pay was decent

Cons

* Just when you think you are doing well, they change everything and you have to learn it yesterday and your KPIs take a dump. * Your thoughts and ideas do not matter. Do what your told, or else! * You're sick? Too bad. Get to work. There is no such thing as flex time. * Out for maternity leave? You had better perform as soon as you start back and know all 200+ changes that happened while you were out, or else! * Dictatorship, animosity between managers, branches, and branch management.
