Stress and pressure constantly, Want more and more every day. Impossible company that cares for nothing but profits!

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, some freedom at times, days are super busy so they go by fast. Good benefits.

Cons

Constant pressure, high goals, many calls each day, difficult to keep up bc of inbound calls. High pressure from sales manager for more business. Constant price increases on customers that you have to manage. Pressure from management/area/corporate to not do price roll backs. Everything you do is watched at times. Stressful dealing with trash not getting picked up or boxes delivered on time. Very difficult job all the time. This job is for you if you like to be stressed out all day every day. Unreal metrics on calls/meetings. You have to check the boxes to get the calls/meetings complete even when you don't make them, your to busy to get to all of them. Impossible company that always wants more and more, its never enough.

Pros

Work experience is what you make of it. I honed several skills here that I could’ve anywhere else for more money and better treatment.

Cons

Work schedule, no overtime in salaried positions and it is an expectation you work 50 hours/week. Management is inept, childish, and inefficient, thus causing a work environment that mirrors its leadership. If you are someone who wants to put in good work and be valued/respected for that work, I highly recommend you look elsewhere.
