Pros

Theres a good culture with the company. Many of the members want to see you do well and it is easy to make friends with people in your same role. I believe that the owner and his children are trying their hardest, but the company has expanded too much. The installation team also seems very happy with their managers and seem to like the job a lot!

Cons

As a Preventative Maintenance Tech, you are the bottom of the food chain. You make $30 for each stop, and 0.085% commission on sales. Your average ticket is around $1,000. I would say you average about $200 per day. Originally I applied to be a sales consultant and the talent department kind of tricked me into my current role saying that I could make a similar amount of money (which is not true). Usually the salesmen have tickets closer to $5,000. Anything they tell you that you need to do, you have to. Speaking up for yourself is the quickest way to be given poor leads. Once your sales numbers start to dive, they tend to give you worse clients, which lead to making no money. They want you to eventually quit because you can no longer feed your family or pay your bills. They take care of their top sales members the best (which is understandable). Each Tuesday there is a mandatory 4 hour meeting that starts at 7 a.m. which you won’t be paid for. The average Tenure for a PMT is about 6 months. It is a job with a very high turnover.
