Pros

Great team atmosphere. I have great co-workers. People make an effort to help each other out in solving problems... that's the ESOP mentality, ownership "we own the solution."

Cons

AVI has a flat organizational structure making it easy to move sideways but almost impossible to move up or be promoted from within. $6000 healthcare deductible is a essentially a pay decrease. It was most disheartening when not long after AVI purchased Dascom Group another employee told me he was rejected for asking for a $.50 hourly raise because the company "doesn't have the money."

Pros

The company has a great attitude and a lot of knowledgeable staff. It may be a corporation, but at the branch level, it feels more mom and pop shop like. I've worked for a lot of different companies from corporate to mom and pop. This has been one of the best companies I've ever worked for.

Cons

I worked for the D&B Team and it is a lot of travel. If you aren't willing to work 60+ hour weeks, it's not the job for you. That said, my position was specific to D&B. Outside of that company, they primarily hire local FE's which only service jobs somewhat nearby the office. Also note, they do their best to ensure you are always home on the weekends. On a 3 week remote job, they still fly you home Friday and fly you back there Monday.
