      -Exposed to all weather conditions -Pay is based on work billed to dealerships, bad months for the market are bad months for you -Franchise based ownership means you could potentially end up with management horror stories, I was fortunate not to -You work alone, unless you can make friends with people you see very briefly at stops, you will not have much socialization at work

      25 Sept 2019 - Field Service Technician in Tulsa, OK
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working with dealers and creating relationships, plus plus is getting to drive all the vehicles.

      Cons

      Management makes contracts with dealerships then gets mad with the revenue is not up to par. We take the pictures of the vehicles available and when the company does not charge enough the revenu is down at no fault of the Field Techs who take the pictures. Then to have management manipulate Tech's hours to raise their revenues is a criminal offense. This is what happened and it needs to stop and I need to get the pay I was jipped. Next step is getting an attorney involved along with Federal Wage and Hour. They need to be investigated.
