      Pros

      Great benefits package, profit sharing, 401k match of 4%, lots of opportunity to move up, personable CEO, decent pay, one of the top companies in the industry, culture that breeds creativity, great co-workers, great support from corporate departments, excellent training, competitive atmosphere.

      Cons

      -Hours can be long regardless of what department you work in. -Typical corporate management structure leads to miscommunication between corporate and local level employees. -Bad hires can bring down an entire team. -Management does a poor job of removing bad hires. -Not a glamorous company. -EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON YOUR LOCATION and LOCATION'S GM/BM!

      Pros

      District Service Managers get free gas. Pay was decent. Guys atmosphere. Not politically correct. Didn't have to worry about hurting anyone's feelings or corporate sensitivity training.

      Cons

      Upper management is HORRENDOUS. Completely disrespectful towards employees. I mean actively insulting and demeaning. Leadership doesn't care to actually solve problems. I'm not sure if they're incapable of it or if they just don't want to. They refused to believe that their methods weren't working and just plowed ahead yelling at everyone underneath them when their master plan didn't work out.

      Fair pay but micromanaged at corporate level and must play golf and be a brown nose to get advancement

      Pros

      Fair pay scale, Great training, Corporate is still a family run company that seems to care about customers needs and overall satisfaction.

      Cons

      Disconnect between the corporate and regional management. They do whatever it takes to get ahead even if goes against corporate values. They just want to cover their own butt.
