Pros

Take home company vehicle, you work independently, you get to see different places that you may have never known about, most customers are pleasant

Cons

On-board process was a lie (in my experience), the pay is $10/hr with the "potential" to earn $50K, unless you are cold calling customers and willing to drive hours between appointments you will not make anywhere near that amount. Training is 4 weeks and the 5th week you are on your own ready you are prepared or not. Training pay is $18/hr but you will transition to piece rate after the first 8 weeks ($10/hr + commission from each job you complete). You cannot clock in until you arrive at the first customers home which could be 5 minutes- 2 hours away. You don't get paid for jobs you cannot complete, no matter how long it took. You don't always get the tools and equipment you need for the job

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!
