Pros

Employee vehicle. Sense of accomplishment. Some expense reimbursement Some good opportunities to make half way decent money. Good learning opportunity and personal development depending on your DM and how engaged they are. Some upward mobility

Cons

Favoritism and a good old boys club Complete disconnect from senior management to boots on the ground. Parts holds. Way too many parts to stock vehicle. Company expects you to use home as an ecolab storage space and doesn’t reimburse for storage. Way too much red tape just to get simple tasks done. Cams never reply to emails. Revolving door of workers which means frequent caretaking and cleaning someone else’s mess up. On call 24/7/365 including holidays. Incredibly needy customers that take advantage of our free service. Unmanageable workload. Poor training; especially with the new catalyst initiative; we were literally given 3 days to learn the material and given quizzes which required a minimum passing score. Mentor app; which is impossible to get fairly graded on. Little recognition on a job well done. Quick to question and nit pick. Company provides little to any support. Pay is insultingly bad. Even if you crush it and gain 100k in new business your paycheck will only go up 6k a year.... Everyone in the field is burned out and overworked. Tracking down invoices. New catalyst system has way too many processes and is unnecessarily complicated. Some customers have absolutely zero respect for your work life balance. Expected to still work and “manage” your business while on vacation. Company doesn’t seem to know what it is doing. Zero compensation losing a corporate account in which you had no control over losing.

Pros

The pros are four day work week 10 hour days, with many Fridays volunteer overtime They try to make a friendly environment

Cons

The pay is not as good as the other places around the area – odd for a fortune 200 company Daily quotas on work – some of them are unrealistic Many department supervisors – a.k.a. “coaches “ are pretty good – one or two are not. Typically these are the ones that have been there for 25 years plus. 20 minute break in the morning, 20 minute break for lunch 10 minute break in the afternoon You are truly on your feet for majority of the 10 hour day The corporation tries to make a friendly environment, but very few employees involve themselves in it. Much backstabbing among line workforce, not a healthy environment. Line workforce runs to supervisors constantly about other people when they should be concerned about their own work. Management has their favorites and you could see that by who who they talk to, and who Brown noses them
