Pros

As a field manager, you are provided with a company car. With your company car, you also get gas at your home location or any other you visit. Should you fly somewhere, the car is free there as well.

Cons

The company is bare bones on IT, is very low pay with an incentive program that gets worse as time goes on, and does knee jerk reactions on everything. If the stock price drops 2 bucks, it is common for them to do hiring freezes. They also manipulate accounting expense by ordering cars not to be repaired until the following quarter. The management above the location but not in corporate is nothing but a conference call joke job that contributes nothing. You will also be doing things some would consider illegal regarding sales practices.

Pros

No micromagement , You earn incentives when customers forget to fill the gas , also when the car was damaged and they accept to pay , managers are nice , deal with Karen and difficult customers sometimes , rush hours where there is no room for cars but it is worth it

Cons

Fluctuate schedule you might work middle shift today , tomorrow you work early morning shift like 5AM and next day you work closing shift 1 to 9 PM. It is just bad for me because I just experienced personal household problem so I have only one car in the household so I had to leave

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
