Pros

During training I was able to go to other job interviews without my supervisor knowing

Cons

Avoid taking a position if possible. This company is very poorly organized, they have lost all but one contract, which they are always on the verge of losing. The work is simple but the routes you are sent on do not make any sense. They as a company are showing all the warning signs of going out of business. You are expect to work 6-7 days a week and any company paperwork or company vehicle maintenance is expected to be done on your day off (I was left on the side of the road because the second truck I had was broken down and never fixed, and was expect to still drive it). There are no benefits (medical, dental, vision) or retirement plans (401K). Pay for employees are going to be cut from 18/hr to somewhere between 12-16/hr. You are required to obtain about half of the needed tools on your own dime. They employee a few good technicians but most are very ignorant. Long work hours Failing business Constantly dealing with angry customers No work/life balance No Benefits No Room for Advancement Broken Vehicles You much purchase needed tools and office supplies Low morale and retention throughout the company Pay cuts (Piece Parts) are taking place Felt trapped once employed there

Pros

You get a vehicle to drive home, they pay for gas, and maintenance for the vehicle. Some tools are provided. 3 shirts and safety are provided. Harness and belt are provided.

Cons

The pay is horrible. The hours are horrible. I was emmidiately thrusted into a shift working 6 days per week, and 12 to 14 hours per day. Some jobs would take 6 hours or so and the pay was less than minimum wage for these types of jobs. They make you pay for the phone that they supply you. I had a minor accident on the job and was forced tot take a ua, the results took over 4 days to come back, meanwhile I couldn't work, nor was i cleared to have the time off. I would give 0 stars, but this site will not give me that option.
