Pros

Field staff are usually good. They generally care about their customers.

Cons

The company stopped growing in 2019 long before Covid. Even prior to Covid, there were no raises, no bonuses in 2019 and weak benefits - even mileage wasn't reimbursed at the IRS rate, The company is in a spiral downward. An antiquated Command and Control management style is the norm. Absolute toxic culture.

Pros

Love clients, working with people - a lot of autonomy and ability to be nimble

Cons

One week of vacation a year, 4 days sick leave - poor medical package. Not sustainable. Technology is not good - it has improved last few years but still archaic . Risk people end up traveling and covering offices all over the place so tons of road time really acting as a bandaid instead of investing in teams that are local
