Pros

Competitive Salary Company vehicle use for monthly fee

Cons

Undeserving and inexperienced new region manager Aggressive micromanagement Region manager delegates because he lacks knowledge and is known to be extraordinarily lazy. He was promoted even after utterly failing to manage at the branch level. He Constantly brags about his relationship with the company's executives. The company constantly gives off a nepotism feel, except with friends and old golf buddies. Region manager presses managers to accept lateral movement within the region and virtually threatens you when you don't accept. Work/life balance is impossible to manage within our schedule.

Excellent training. You can basically leave and start your own company after working there.

Colder climates have a slow season through the winter months and new customers are rare
