Pros

There Really isn't any except flexible hours, but they are removing that also. It's a slave driven employment place.

Cons

Very low base pay. Had to work 35hrs just to make $280. It was terrible! NO RAISES! Abusive Management. Cheated bonuses or very little bonus after working so heard to get leads. Fake bonus promises. They will lie to you with a promise of $300 to get free labor out of you to get leads or to get your friends and family to like their Facebook. After you do it, he tells you he will write you the bonus, and PURPOSELY not give it to you. Can drive too far from home and burn gas and scam you out of your mileage. Standing all day at hard HOme Depot floors. Consistent rejections. No room for growth or advancement no matter how hard you work. It's really a lot of foul play from greedy management.

Intensive KPI tracking, independent workload, not work life balance friendly. Your performance can be affected if you’re having a bad day. People treat you like scum of the earth

Pros

You can take work truck home.

Cons

Management has created a challenging work environment where technician support and fair compensation do not appear to be priorities. There are no performance-based bonuses or consistent annual raises, despite strong expectations around sales. Call distribution lacks transparency, with higher-quality leads often going to a small, select group, making it difficult for others to perform at their full potential. Technicians are also expected to take calls after scheduled hours (8 AM – 4 PM), which impacts work-life balance. Additionally, time and travel policies raise concerns. Technicians clock in upon arrival at the customer’s location rather than when travel begins, even when jobs are over an hour away. This results in significant unpaid driving time, often exceeding two hours per day. In some cases, technicians are required to travel to appointments even when customers are unresponsive, leading to cancellations or reschedules without compensation for the time lost. Overall, the expectations placed on technicians are high, but the structure and support systems in place do not consistently reflect or reward that effort.
