Pros

Take home company vehicle saves on commute expenses Job security Company provides footwear

Cons

Pay was drastically reduced after acquisition by rentokil, new people don't even realize how they've been screwed Employees are micromanaged Sales heavily pushed Support employees installing sold products are not paid well so the work is frequently not done well Constant conflict mediation with customers either due to price increase or poorly performed work by support staff Call center is terrible at everything
