Pros

Very good position if you can be self motivated and be self disciplined. If you need constant hand holding look elsewhere.

Cons

A lot depends on the quality and personalities of the branch mgr, service mgr, and office mgr. These three positions can make or break your enjoyment.

Pros

The didactic training was very good. You are able to work at your own pace and be self sufficient.

Cons

This was a very dysfunctional corporation that over promised and under delivered on service. The technicians and sales people were always competing for the same accounts and there was very little cooperation between divisions or branches in the same locale. The money was poor and they basically had you paying for your own gas to fuel your own car. The management treated each branch as their own feudal kingdom and was only concerned with their own bonuses.
