I was once the field service manager for a third party service organization repairing/maintaining MRI machines nationwide. We charged $100K/yr for the service yet we had very few spare parts. When we weren't preforming scheduled maintenance, we were reverse engineering circuit boards, assemblies, etc. Mind-numbing work for low pay and long hours.
The owners were crooks masquerading as religious people. Our business cards had scripture on them and they ended just about every phone call to clients with "bless you". They wanted me to make all the engineers work 6 days/wk, 12 hours per day. Plus, when traveling, our meal allowance was only $17/day regardless of location!
I endured it for 1.5 years just to have "Field Service Manager" on my resume.
