Pros

- Good pay (because of the union) - Great industry/trade - Great benefits (because of the union) - Plenty of work/hours, and OT - Company puts safety and PPE before everything

Cons

- The pay is only good because of the union - Management team is awful. They don't know elevators and only pretend to care about your safety as a mechanic - Over promise to the customer and expect mechanics to make up for this mistake - Stressful, dangerous job
