Pros

Friendly people and a pretty laid-back environment. If you focus on your job and are accountable you won't have any issues. Benefits are decent and they offer yearly raises.

Cons

A fair amount of petty office drama and micro-managing. Also not too much room for advancement both inside the branch or into the divisional or national offices. Lack of understanding between the corporate office and branch needs.

Pros

They had work for you everyday. Commission split is the best in the industry.

Cons

Because they still use PAPER tickets you have to go to the shop every morning. You don't get paid while you are waiting around the shop in the morning. You are required to work every other Saturday. You don't get paid while waiting for dispatch (sometimes it takes more than 30 minutes). Depending on whose dispatching, you could end up driving more than an hour between jobs. You don't get paid drive time, unless you go outside of the magic circle. Then you only get paid ONE WAY. Most of the jobs are tune ups. The tune ups are less than $40. This means most of the customers don't have money and many of them expect you to fix their unit for $40. They have weekly production meetings where they pass out a sheet with everyone's numbers. They belittle and threaten the people on the bottom of the list. They expect you to sell a NEW system if the existing one is older than 5 years old. They don't want you to really fix anything, just sell new systems. If your numbers were low they would send you home before you got to 40 hrs (usually on Thursday.) Then they still expect you to come in on to work on Saturday. The three stooges get all of the good calls. Everyone else gets scraps.

Pros

I worked for ARS Rescue for almost 3 years. I was a sales associate and walked around Home Depot generating sales for the company. I loved the store I was in they treated me like i was one of there own . the only thing i liked about the job was the pay and commission.

Cons

I hated this company they didn't appericate there employees espically the ones out n the field. We had to work Christmas eve and holidays while the office was closed. There was a lot of favoritism going on.
