Pros
-get to see many areas of gta
Cons
unsafe working environment (lack of proper lighting at sites, non-shoveled and non-salted sites), company assigned cars are unmaintained (balding tires, no windshield fluid), company is more concerned with the number of tickets handed out then well-being of employees. Management displays discriminitory practices (i.e..shoveling one area of home base and not shoveling another area where certain employees enter, promotion without merit etc). Company disregards concerns of employees and forces new duties and schedules without any training. A few things you should know about how this business is run… - Quotas of 30-40 tickets per employee per shift – the officers try to find the smallest reasons to issue a ticket because they are in fear of losing their jobs - Machines are purposefully set for time to expire at 6pm or 7pm – if you pay the evening flat rate within the last hour before one of those times it will only go up to those times. So for ex. if you pay 15 dollars for the flat rate at 5:50pm it will only go up to 6 pm. Many complaints from the employees and patrons alike fall on deaf ears because they are maximizing profits here with the purchase of the ticket plus the invoice that is issued for “expired time” by the enforcement officers. - So if you have an appointment at 6 and you come early and park at one of their lots and pay the maximum flat rate it will only go to 6 and you are not able to purchase time additional time. You will need to wait until after 6 to buy time if u don’t want it to expire at 6. You will be penalized twice; paying full price for the meter plus you will get a ticket from the patrol officer. - management wants the officers to go to these sites at the expiring time there is no grace period to ticket these individuals with “expired” tickets - Many acts of vandalism and theft occur on their sites and they do not warn patrons of that - If you call to dispute a ticket usually no one will pick up from Precise to discuss it, they do that on purpose - Even if a machine is broken some officers will still issue tickets – in fear they will lose their jobs - Management breaks their own rules so they can park in areas without paying and allows their friends and family to park for free - broken machines will be fixed promptly to avoid financial losses - Management forces the employees to do unsafe work or use the unsafe vehicles if you try to talk back to them you get in trouble for it - everyday you are harassed by upper management you will get in trouble for getting caught in traffic, not giving out enough tickets, for idiling the car for more than 5 minutes, for leaving a site if you feel that you are not safe, they want to control every aspect of your job while you are working for them
