Pros

Flexible Hours for the most part, however, many times you will be working 10-14 hour days. Met some very nice people

Cons

If you are lucky to be promoted, you will have a lot more responsibility, many more accounts and maybe a few thousand dollars increase which does not make up for the amount of time you are working and the amount of responsibility you have. The poor custodians can't get increases because the contracts are negotiated so aggressively that after 3 years there still isn't room for a raise for them from 9.00/hr to 9.50/hr. Also, it is extremely hard to get bonuses because the profit margins are ridiculously high, so your accounts will be making the company money but you will be red =no bonus. Finance has no clue of managers names or responsibilities. Upper management does not care about middle managers. It appears like everyone is in it for themselves in this company. Division/Regional managers do not respond to emails, phone calls.... Don't forget, you will be working weekends and holidays as employees won't show up and you will need to find replacements. This company has sooooo much POLITICS, it's crazy... This company is so disorganized and they are stupid for not retaining top managers. They will pay managers 40-50k and work them to death. Horrible company... There is virtually no recognition, rewards, training sucks with outdated safety chats, email lists are outdated and you may be a site mgr but not included on the email distribution lists. HR, Finance, Payroll, A/P are all disconnected with each other and no one knows what's going on. I advise you 100% to not work for this company.

My worse nightmare

Pros

They talk to you with respect, they have a good incentive safety program and they will work with you if you need time off.

Cons

They made promise about our working hours and within a few weeks they cut people and hours. They expect for us to do detail work in a building by yourself which have 13 bathrooms ( not including stalls) and over 30 office with cubical in 4 -6 hr. They wanted us to do our area and they go do another area when someone is absent and then expect to do all that within 4-6 hrs. Senior management does not communicate well with lower management, they do not supply you with everything you need and then they act as though you never told them what you needed.
