Pros

-You can get/stay in shape. Physical, active job. On your feet all day, lifting, carrying, loading, unloading etc. -4 day work weeks -Fun culture and coworkers -high quality management and leadership -independence - generally no one is looking over your shoulder all day -customers may offer you food/meals (depends on the route and your relationship with your customers but you could potentially get 3 free meals a day if you wanted)

Cons

-You will be in "training" (SSRT) for at least 2-6 months where you will earn $17 an hour. -As an SSR, your pre tax annual income will range approximately between 35k (low performer) to a max of 55k (top performer). Whether youve been there 2 years or 20 years. -Very little opportunity for upward mobility in company. Not many avenues exist. -early work days (430-630am depending on route) -must work in the elements, rain, snow, heat etc) -minimal vacation time. -many trucks are in poor condition including many without functioning A/C. I felt unsafe in several trucks. -trucks are heavily roach infested. -you will most likely have to sort through dirty kitchen laundry filled with maggots, especially in the warm months.

Pros

The pros i will talk about are from the position, not from the company. Its a great position, you get to have a different job site everyday. You see things in the area you live and inside buildings you would have never seen before. You get to work outside, and not at a desk.

Cons

This company is just another "fake it till you make it" organization. They're salary from worker to worker makes zero sense, they hire and pay out of need, not out of experience and talent. They have zero training, or close to it. They expect all training to come from senior technicians, but sometimes the senior technicians were trained by people that didn't know what they were doing. There is alot of drama in the office, and their policies are illegal regarding drive time. Their technology is way behind the curve, and puts alot of pressure on the tech to finish all required tasks in an 8 hour day. Work life balance is very poor. Very unorganized business practices from the top down... its all numbers and has nothing to do with the fire industry. Just a bunch of office workers talking about stuff they do not know about.
