Pros

Company truck, coworkers are a great bunch and my managers are great (except 1)

Cons

Pay seems good at first till you go commission and then its like the equivalent of garbage pay due to the hours. Micro management- One of my managers pretty much ruins this job for me. Hes super untrusting and constantly micro managing, thinks because hes smart he can talk down on you. He always has to have the last word even if hes complaining for no reason. Company claims to have this great training but in reality its crap and you learn from coworkers and the internet. Company is ULTRA CHEAP. These rich jerks act like they are strapped for cash and take it out on my branch manager whos easily the best gm ive ever had. They fail to understand the changing times and customer base. They are starting to fall behind as a result we are losing a ton of work due to terrible pricing and low employee morale.

Thank you for taking time to post feedback here, however as an employee, you have several avenues to escalate your concerns - specifically through your Division HR or Region Manager. Please raise your experience with a member of leadership so the matter can be reviewed further and address accordingly.
