Pros
BG definitely ticks upward on the pay. Daily assignments, Not being stuck at any one property management company working for a dictatorial or bad property manager which is very common in the apartment industry.
Cons
Lack of pretty much every healthy work environment trait : Trust , Communication, Employee management which trickles down to a gross mistrust from BG clients. Client properties have zero trust from often incompetent management which makes your duties 3 times more difficult or labor intensive especially when it comes to replacement parts or specialty tools. Section 8 clientele which often have a" Fix at all cost" policy which is not only more labor intensive it poses as a hazard to the residents safety. Handlers assign jobs and have zero respect for the technicians skillset so you maybe making $19.00 picking up after grown adults which leads to less time on assignments because of higher hourly pay.
