Pros

A lot of opportunities to make extra money with overtime, which is nice, especially with the new deductions for it.

Cons

When you do the interview, they mention that you rarely work overtime and start later on some days to reduce any overtime you may have at the end of the week, but that's not entirely true. They expect you to complete all the work assigned to you, plus more. Also, they are supposed to pay you incentives for high productivity, but that ended after about 2 weeks, plus you never actually know how much pto you have, nor does anyone in the building.

Pros

Good training. Not too demanding in the learning curve.

Cons

Not a whole lot of work where I live. Working out of town 1 day a week part-time with a long commute.

Pros

The role provides the opportunity to meet a diverse range of people, oversee multiple sites, and stay active throughout the day. The constant movement and variety help keep the work engaging and dynamic.

Cons

Supervisors are often overwhelmed by the number of accounts they are responsible for managing. They are required to conduct site checks within specific timeframes, regardless of the distance between locations, which can be challenging and time-consuming. Additionally, staffing shortages and heavy workloads can force supervisors to cover posts themselves when no one on the roster is available or willing to take an assignment, preventing them from completing other critical responsibilities. The company appears to follow federal law only to the extent necessary to avoid legal repercussions. As a member of the military reserves, I have observed that legally mandated rest periods following military duty are not always adequately considered by management when scheduling employees. This can create unnecessary fatigue and make it more difficult to balance military obligations with civilian work responsibilities.
