Pros

Large company, lots of potential for advancement as well as transfers. At least my location, alot of pride in quality of work. Fast paced and exciting at times! Also, ther is alot of opportunity for continued training on all sorts of equipment. My favorite thing about my job is that I'mn doing something different every day so there is no time to get bored.

Cons

Fast paced and stressful at times... Rental industry doesn't pay as well for mechanics, at least in WA. Some of the safety rules seem mundane and pointless. I know they're intended to keep us safe, but sometimes I find myself choosing between doing my job, and following the rules...

Pros

company truck, company gas, expense account

Cons

Coercive Non-Competes: Instead of retaining talent through fair pay and competent leadership, management uses overreaching non-compete agreements to trap their workforce. Seeing colleagues like Zane bogged down by these heavy-handed tactics shows a fundamental lack of respect for employees' career mobility. Pervasive Micromanagement: Leadership insists on controlling minor details, bottlenecking progress and alienating competent employees. The Sunk Cost Fallacy: Instead of learning from mistakes, senior leaders consistently double down on poor decisions, driven by an unwillingness to admit fault. The Peter Principle in Action: The executive team suffers from an overinflated sense of their own acumen, which barely masks a fundamental lack of competence. People have clearly been promoted to their level of incompetence.
