Pros

Lots of over time available. Boss was fairly empathetic.

Cons

"Free" car isn't free and you have no option to but to use it. "Build your own schedule" means that you're available whenever your clients are. Expect to rarely see your family. "Work from home office" means that you're bringing nasty old equipment into your home office. Expect funky old smells, roaches, and cat pee smell from equipment that's been stewing behind people's tv's for 2 years. Training in Oldsmar Florida is pass/ fail. They whisked a trainee out during training like he was a corpse, it was so uncomfortable and cut throat. They had him dumped at the airport within 2 hours. Expect to lift things that are too heavy, to have to pay off households to retain them, and to see illicit things in people's homes that you're supposed to ignore. Culture of suffering.
