      Care more about stock holders than employees

      Pros

      Everyone was very kind from division president to local branch managers

      Cons

      Not organized. Don't care about individual employees. Treated branch managers poorly. Didn't get things done they said they would.

      Pros

      The pay is good. The job is stable. The work is easy. Once your route is dialed in you get to your first stop around 8 AM and work until around sundown. Pay is 15-20% commission. You can get sales commission on top. Most techs make around $4k a month pretty easily. If you are the kind of person that can keep your morale up despite the office and management making a mess around you, its a really steady well paying job.

      Cons

      The call center is the number one problem. Sometimes a customer will call, get scheduled by the main office, rescheduled by your branch, then rescheduled by you or a manager. There are a lot of hours of work in the week, and then more unpaid hours chasing leads, maintaining trucks, and if you get a route that is far from your current location you do a lot of driving for free. They also make you use a really terrible app, and have no streamlined office system. You need to remember multiple passwords, logins, and apps. The app itself really doesn't work right. I had weeks where I was scheduled to work Xmas eve and my birthday, but had 0 stops on four different days in the week with no explanation. Ultimately I couldn't handle how the office was ran.
