American Residential Services (ARS) will potential become a great place to work
Pros
Strong and capable leadership at the CEO, COO, & CFO level with long track record of success. Those men want to do the right thing by both their employees and their customers and they sincerely care about people. ARS will have a great future if senior management can handle some of the internal problems they inherited.
Cons
Depending on the department - there are managers/senior managers who are totally incapable of managing people or company business. Should you wind up in the wrong area of the company these people will make your life miserable until you finally leave ARS (which is their intent). Unfortunately, it's a known problem at most levels of the company - however, senior management does not micro-manage so they are often not even aware of the havoc being created by these people - until several people have left. The bad departments are the ones who have 90% turnover each year so it doesn't take long to find out where they are in the company.
