Pros

Get to make own schedule. Take truck to and from home everyday. Good benefits.

Cons

Micromanaging from the very top of the company all the way down(gotten worse every year), Changed model of compensation from commission to Revenue Per Hour system, They require you to be on call once every couple months where you are basically working for free on other peoples problem accounts that are calling in over the weekend for service. This heavily effects your RPH. I worked my way up to about $70,000 over about 6 years, stayed at that for three years in a row. To go management route required taking a $20,000 pay cut and their sales positions are coveted and always full. There was nowhere else for me to go.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
