Pros

They give you a company car and gas card. That’s it.

Cons

This is a new division from the Marvin few may know. This is the Replacement division where they install the Ultrex fiberglass window only. Plz know they have authorized dealers and installers who sell the same product. They don’t advertise. Except on Facebook. All the leads come from Facebook ads and they are not prequalified or even confirmed. So expect many cancel at the door, no shows, or unqualified leads. They don’t tell you the truth about work orders. The back office is full of incompetent people. They offer too many additional labor items without proper pricing. The management completely micro manages you. It’s a followup sale they tell you but in actuality they want it to be a one call close. You work 6 days a week. Can go days without appointments. They promise you 10-12 leads per week, my branch averaged 2-5 per week per design consultant, maybe. They constantly try and pacify you with empty promises of more advertising. And that more leads are coming. I was there for more than 6months, and it was a struggle.

High turnover

Pros

Not many but the profit share was okay

Cons

High stress environment. Boredom. Employees working drunk or high. Little safety enforcement unless random inspection by OSHA. Hivemind mentality among employees that have been there for years almost to the point where it comes off as a cult. If the machines crash expect to be sweeping for hours on end until maintenance figures out what's wrong.

Pros

Pay was decent, unlimited overtime if your into that. Some techs were good to work with.

Cons

No direction in the maintenance and engineering departments. Turnover is bad. Decades of knowledge has been thrown away for nepotism and an Amazon like manufacturing culture. Too much work and stress, not enough money. The controls tech spend most of there time doing mechanical grunt work. No room for growth.
