Pros

Weekends off. (If your work is done)

Cons

Went from a family run business with a certain "culture" that was like working for a small business where everyone knew everyone's name and you were proud to work there. Now it has become manager heavy, with sales reps selling whatever job they can talk the customer into, even if the job is sold incorrectly. This put a lot of stress on crews. Aside from sales being along way from "challenging the status quo", the managers would tell us never to remove a product that's scheduled to be installed, even if the customer didn't need it, just so the company would make more money. The pay was not even close to what the amount of work they expected you to do in the amount of time you were given, and any "bonus" you may receive was. Normally in your 2 week check, which they removed and if* you keep your customer satisfaction rating above a certain % throughout the year, you may receive the bonus. When I left they were cutting costs on everything and trying to pocket as much money as they could to pay for future endeavors that they are over their head in.

Thank you for your feedback. We are committed to creating an open, transparent and collaborative environment for all our employees, so I’m disappointed you felt that you had a negative experience while working alongside us. I value open and honest feedback and continually look for ways to improve, however I would like to address a few of the specific statements you listed. We work hard to hire employees who work with integrity and do what is best for each of our customers. This is why we are a three time winner of the BBB Integrity Awards and continue to get customer reviews that earn us Angie’s List Service Awards and A+ Ratings. We always have room for improvement, but I believe in our employees and that they have the best interest of our customers in mind. As the landscape of our industry continues to evolve, so do we. The customer experience is our top priority, which is one of the key reasons why we initiated an incentive program that directly correlates with customer satisfaction. Our compensation is very competitive, if not higher than many of the other organizations in our area and we want to reward those that provide a consistent WOW experience to our customers. While I wish I still had the opportunity to get to know each employee as closely as I did when we were much smaller; as we grow that unfortunately is just not feasible. While I know we’re not perfect and have made bad decisions in the past, I believe in our leaders and team members. Each of us work hard every day to ensure we provide the best customer experiences we can and to provide a culture that our employees are proud to be a part of. Again, I do value your feedback and am disappointed you felt that your time with us was negative. I thank you for the work you did while you were with us and wish you the best.

Pros

None come to mind. Money hungry co.

Cons

Excessive travel. Micromanaged, employer had cut pay 3times in 5 years, to increase there profits. Doesn't care about their employees or customers! Only interested in the dollar they are making.

Pros

The relationships that are made between coworkers are great and everyone as a whole seems to get along great and works well together. Great benefits and competitive pay.

Cons

Thrasher was a family oriented company. As the president of the company once said "As long as our sales go up... oh yeah and help customers too". The company is very appealing on the outside but deep down it's very toxic and does not follow it's own values and beliefs. It's one thing to say it another to actually do it and believe in your heart. The upper management is very much in their own circle of who they hang out with. Current employees are in constant FEAR of their jobs. God forbid if they say how they really feel and they ruffle a few feathers. Those who do speak their minds are "not a culture fit and quietly disappear. Sad to say this is NOT the christian based company as it once was.
