Management changes constantly, and the manager you do get is only in that position because they played politics. You'll be micromanaged daily and have set goals regardless of daily emergencies. The constant turnover makes everyone's daily activities more stressful. People get fired for not echoing the "family-oriented" speech of upper management, and nepotism is rampant at ECRS. Your input is never welcomed, even if they tell you otherwise. Pay is not good for the area or the tech field. Hard work is rarely rewarded, even when stepping up and taking on additional tasks. The very little training you get is minimal, and you'll be thrown into new tasks constantly. Some Long-term employees are rude, disrespectful, and narcissistic. The Boone area is full of college students and tourists. The area is not good for professionals, with housing being very expensive and rent being very high. It is nearly impossible to find a place to rent. You'll have a very tough time finding a place to live with no assistance from ECRS.
