Pros

All the major holidays off which is unheard of unless you work for the government Have a company car Good start pay for my position

Cons

This is a position that is the slave of the branch. ALL the miscellaneous gets dumped on the Permit Coordinator as if we were office assistants Unprofessional work environment--staff curse as the norm, office employees allowed to read all day long and text and hang out rather than find work to do, while other positions slave away Design team makes numerous mistakes--plans always wrong which makes permitting chaotic Zero permitting support from branch employees--no help or support whatsoever, including from Branch Manager People don't have phone numbers at this company--they only list their emails as the norm--that says it all--no support! Totally un-standardized at install branches It's all about the image of the branch--with no one knowing how screwed up people are acting and things are running

Pros

Pay per hour isn’t bad and you just kind of walk around the store and no one from the company will really check up on you besides whoever else is scheduled with you

Cons

Such a disorganized company. The stores you get sent too is based on your address I had put a different home address for personal reasons and explained I actually lived somewhere else said they’d made accommodations, they lied and didn’t even though they could’ve. They change their standards whenever they want I got fired because of a requirement they changed mid employment, I was making the requirements that was told to me when I first got hired but after a month they decided to change it and let me go the same day because I “wasn’t meeting that requirement” when it literally was just made up. So many pointless meetings everyday where they just repeat the same stuff everyday. The only successful people at this position are people who constantly harass customers in the store and so many people would get banned from certain stores due to complaints but the company will not punish them or anything if anything they almost encourage this behavior. Do not work for this company they’re a scam. They say they offer a “rate reduction” program to homeowners but it isn’t, they just want to get people trapped in a long contract for years that they just keep raising prices. They are not an honest company. The hours are terrible it is mandatory that you work every weekend and they make it a huge deal if you try to take it out saying you can get written up for it.
