Micro-management at it’s finest

Pros

Company car, gas card, phone and iPad are given to you. They’re used and in bad shape, but you can use them.

Cons

You feel like someone is always watching you. Every step of the process is questioned, if not from management, then from the CSS’s. Questions come even if the person has been on the job for several years. Your GPS is monitored and brought up during check-ins. There have been times where management has looked the other way when work has been done poorly on a sold job in the field, but question why you were only at a house for 15 minutes. Management wonders why you have no appointments scheduled even though you make a serious effort to call and set up reinspections. They don’t want to hear reality for why there are no appointments and seem to encourage us to do inspections to make their numbers. There’s a lot more examples I can describe but don’t have the time. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy.

Management not trained to train. Won't give assistance. Small customer base with 4 inspectors to cover an area that 2 can cover. Management & office plays favorites when giving out inbounfs.

Management not trained to train. Overworked and they get away with harassment toward their employees. Treatment from the Office Staff up to the Corporate Office in Atlanta was terrible.
