      Pros

      Timely Payment, Allowing for exercise of both technical knowledge and customer service skill sets, Respectable amount of PTO, Generous compensation for certifications earned while on the job.

      Cons

      The labor is contracted, so the client may be considering what they are paying Avidex for you rather than what you are actually paid in how hard you should be working.

      Advice to Management

      Remember that your technicians are assets to be valued rather than resources to be expended in order to maximize profits, and you will retain more career-long technicians.

      Pros

      Management was reasonably nice. Well trained employees with moderately good benefits and descent pay. Some room for promotions, etc. Moderately fun place to work in. On site work can be fun, and allow you to go to a variety of places, however some onsite clients can be unfair.

      Cons

      Management not very involved, and not always willing to hear employees side of the story. Very hands off at times.

      Advice to Management

      Try to be more hands on with employees, even those handling on site contracts. Communicate more and encourage employees with more raises, promotions and other special incentives.
