Vantaggi
Good pay/Decent benefits, but are decreasing from what I heard.
Svantaggi
(1) Nepotism-Brown noser Buddy system. Many managers have family and buddies working in the ranks. The ones I saw weren't technical at all... It's sickening that the company allows this stuff to happen. -There is a huge problem of favoritism- and also discrimination toward a lot of us who quit/got fired/laid off/squeezed out. (2) Field Service Managers who don't care enough to correctly schedule travel for family men. Little notice for long travel trips- then extending the trip because they can't plan effectively. They are inefficient- and basically just make everything very difficult for those who actually work for a living. Travel is what field service is all about sometimes--- but it sucks to have to extend a trip away from your family/kids, only because the planners don't know what they are doing. (3) Local management just gets in the way- trying to act like he knows what he's doing (but obvious to everyone but him- he doesn't). Imagine your 4 year old "helping" you study for your college finals.... That's exactly how helpful he is. -If you are only "here for the paycheck", have no pride/technical skills- you would probably fit well at TEA. - If you have pride, care about doing a good job, and taking care of your customer, and are somewhat intelligent- they will drive you mad. I suggest only working there for the money, and only if you have no other options. The quality of this company may improve with the pending merger with AMAT--- It may not...
