CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Schedule flexibility as well as request offs

Cons

Inappropriate district managers bad mouthing hr representatives. Job title doesn’t include laying tile or redoing concrete. Always looking to cut people to make “numbers” you are an option before an employee. Overwork good working people. Unsafe work habits I drove a box truck without a license for 5 years. Your job will be threatened to sell an overpriced product.
