Pros

There are some good people that are willing to help if need be. The pay seems to be higher than the industry average.

Cons

Everyone is overworked. The branch is horribly understaffed, and branch and region management has a "do whatever it takes" attitude that results in 12 hour days or more for most employees and unrealistic expectations. The cronies in upper management want services to be done properly, but are unwilling to give employees enough time to perform the task. If you want to have a reasonable workload or try to gain family time you are labeled a lazy person. The benefits are mediocre at best.

Pros

Great commission structure, very thorough training, and management team is super supportive.

Cons

If you want work to home life this may not be for you. It is a very strenuous job, but if you put in the time it does get easier
