Pros

Working here has been a very positive experience overall. One of the biggest advantages is having a great direct manager who is supportive, communicative, and truly invested in the success and development of their team. In addition, the field leaders genuinely care about their people and consistently show up with guidance, recognition, and a willingness to help. The benefits offered are strong and competitive, contributing to both financial stability and overall well-being. It is clear that the company cares about its employees, not only through programs and resources, but through the culture and the way people are treated. The organization truly makes an effort to do what’s right and create a positive environment where employees feel valued.

Cons

While there are many positives, there are also a few challenges to be aware of. The company is constantly changing, which requires employees to pivot quickly and adapt with limited notice. At times, cross-department communication is inconsistent, especially when new programs or initiatives are launched. This can lead to confusion, duplicate work, or misalignment in processes. Another recurring issue is that HR is often the last to receive information, while field leaders are informed first and may ask HR questions before details are provided internally. This creates unnecessary pressure and limits HR’s ability to support effectively. Additionally, the pay schedule is only once a month, which may be difficult for some employees to manage. Career advancement can feel limited, as promotions often go to those selected for special projects. However, employees must be chosen for these opportunities rather than being able to apply, leaving others without a clear path for growth if they are not selected.

Pros

Good entry level position for an aspiring IT technician who wants to learn the ropes of how the enterprise IT worlds works. You'll work with a lot of different software applications and many different hardware setups including RF technology. There's also a lot of room to specialize and take on projects that interest you so long as it improves the workplace. Upper management is attentive and supportive. Compensation is fair for an entry level IT role and the 4x10 schedule can be nice if it's for you.

Cons

This is actually a hybrid IT-maintenance position and you're likely going to perform far more maintenance work than IT work depending on the facility you work at. Due to the size of the program, there are many less IT specialists to lean on for support and training/documentation can be sparse. There is a high workload oftentimes and one lengthy troubleshooting session can result in a cascade effect and due to the size of the program, support can be hard to come by. Due to the small team sizes, callouts/uncovered PTO can be absolutely brutal.
