Pros

The work of an estimator is interesting. You get to move from jobsite to jobsite but also can sit at a desk when the fancy strikes. Dealing with different insurance adjusters and home offices is challenging but rewarding.

Cons

Depending on the franchise, the owner/s can be very unrealistic. There was a lot of turnover among employees who did the field work where I was employed. In the first year I was there the entire workforce, other than the office manager and myself, either quit or was fired. Constant replacements require constant training, which was very draining and made for many stressfull days.

Pros

Immediate leadership was great, and starting pay was competitive. There are people who genuinely want to see the company succeed. The owners were personable and made a point to interact with all of the staff.

Cons

Dishonest. When hired I was promised commissions on profitable jobs. My whole time there I, my boss, and the only other project manager never saw a bonus, even though the department saw very significant increases in profit margins since I was hired, due in large part to the changes made to the process between my boss and myself. I was moved out to the region for this job and missed some time due to complications with the move, as well as some health struggles. I was given understanding and advised to keep and eye on it. When given news that our department was essentially dissolving and I would be taking on the work of half the team, I left early to discuss with my wife. On returning I was immediately terminated without any warning whatsoever and nothing lined up in a state I haven’t had time to make connections. Infighting among the staff is also an ongoing issue.
