Pros
If you put in the extra work and overtime there are opportunities to pick up extra work from other technicians routes who cannot finish their route before the end of the month. You work on your own and have your own work truck which you drive home at the end of your work day. Getting sales leads can potentially get you commission if the sales team sells the lead.
Cons
Service calls can complicate your workday and put you behind on your route, making it difficult to pick up extra work and sometimes to even finish your own route. When other technicians or supervisors work your stops you lose the commission for those accounts. Months that you take vacation or sick leave your pay will be hit unless you manage to finish your route, which can be very difficult depending on how much time is taken off.
