Pros

Company van, tools, uniforms, decent benefits. able to work independently

Cons

Work/life balance is horrible. I work 14 to 16 hours a day. on an average day alone I usually get home around midnight. Management could care less about your concerns, I've addressed many concerns, and very few have been resolved, the warehouse is a joke, half the time I cant get enough equipment to do all my work. I'm driving a van with over 200,000 miles on it with expired tags!! I've asked for a new van only to be told that new ones would be arriving soon, I've yet to see them. Chargebacks suck! Every time a customer calls in with a complaint, you get a chargeback. Pay is horrible. they go by a color scale, orange, green and blue. and to move up to the next color rank is almost impossible. Ranking system is horrible: A scorecard system is used, you have to hit so many numbers to be promoted. meaning, you have to work your butt off to get a good paycheck Turnover rate is outrageous. I have seen an office of 45 techs drop to 15 within 6 months. All because you don't get paid well.

Pros

Technicians are a great group of individuals. Decent health benefits Company-provided vehicle, lap-top, cell phone Free satellite TV service

Cons

Upper Management does not prepare supervisors for the job. Expectations are extremely unrealistic Paid for five working days and forced to work six. Days start at 6:30AM and often don't end until 9:00PM Lack of honesty from higher managers Almost impossible to have a work/home life balance

Pros

Health insurance is good and great if you love to drive around

Cons

They'll cut back your hours and then management will actually laugh at you when complain how you're no longer able to make rent. And with the erratic hours good luck balancing another job to help out. They've also refused to schedule me for the day due to having too many hours when in fact, I actually missed a day that week, no chance of having overtime whatsoever. Your pay is based solely on sales and a flat rate for each job you do that day, management only scraped together 2 the day they failed to schedule me. Oh and a quick Google search shows they've had lawsuits for not paying overtime. Pay is based on piecework and its only$23 per job with commission based on installations. You also receive commission on sales but good luck trying to sell their products.
