Pros

Your co-workers can be great. If you work your butt off for six days a week, you can make decent money.

Cons

Management does not care about you or your safety. They care about the minimum required to keep lawsuits off them. They refuse to pay for the time that you spend going to your first job, and coming home from your last one. The pay is not fair for the amount of work you do. I can and have spent 12 hours a day working just to make $50, because you're paid by the amount of jobs you close. Their training is very minimal. The trainers have no incentive to train you properly, so when you're out on your own, good luck knowing what to do. The routing system is abominable. I have wasted hours every day just commuting to and from jobs they put on me. I can have three jobs all within 15 minutes of each other, and one that's an hour and a half drive away.

Pros

Nothing at all. It's all listed in the cons.

Cons

We were sold off to them from Optimum. Quickly trying to become the worst company in America to work for. They took away our vacation. Our sick time. Our personal time. They took away holidays. Now they are saying that working a holiday is mandatory unless you asked it off 2 weeks before it (they gave notice of that less than a week before it). They monitor wherever you are, doing whatever, soon as that truck moves. You aren't allowed to backup. If you call in two times in a 90 day period, you're in trouble. If it gets to 8 times (the last call in continues it on) you're fired. They overwork you because they are "behind" and you're just expected to work later. We're expected to do more and for less. They even denied our merit raises saying they didn't believe in them. They don't care about your family and wanting to see them. To be able to spend time outside of work. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN HELP IT!
