Pros

For someone with experience in the HVAC sales field, a person could earn a good commission-based salary and earn a a good living.

Cons

For someone that does not have experience in the HVAC sales field, a person or is not a technician, the pay is very low and so is employee morale.

Pros

The hours are very good. You can work four hours two days out the week, and 6 hours two days out the week. Equaling 20 hours

Cons

They expect you make sales on air conditioning units. The pay is okay. The commission is low. People walk away from you.

Pros

Some of the guys that worked there are still good friends. That is the best part. Not all of the guys were good though.

Cons

Straight commission. Guys wouldn't use the price book and make up there own prices so they could try to make ends meat. Management was horrible.

Pros

They had work for you everyday. Commission split is the best in the industry.

Cons

Because they still use PAPER tickets you have to go to the shop every morning. You don't get paid while you are waiting around the shop in the morning. You are required to work every other Saturday. You don't get paid while waiting for dispatch (sometimes it takes more than 30 minutes). Depending on whose dispatching, you could end up driving more than an hour between jobs. You don't get paid drive time, unless you go outside of the magic circle. Then you only get paid ONE WAY. Most of the jobs are tune ups. The tune ups are less than $40. This means most of the customers don't have money and many of them expect you to fix their unit for $40. They have weekly production meetings where they pass out a sheet with everyone's numbers. They belittle and threaten the people on the bottom of the list. They expect you to sell a NEW system if the existing one is older than 5 years old. They don't want you to really fix anything, just sell new systems. If your numbers were low they would send you home before you got to 40 hrs (usually on Thursday.) Then they still expect you to come in on to work on Saturday. The three stooges get all of the good calls. Everyone else gets scraps.

Pros

None! This company sucks , it is only paying the bills... barely. They screw everyone over , multiple times before you leave

Cons

Management is very unprofessional , they talk down to you constantly. No one communicates and there's a ton of drama in the office. They will write you up off of hear say. No one looks forward to going to work, constantly worrying if they are the next to go. We've had mass lay offs, false promises. Extra work with no compensation , as a matter of fact our commission has been taken away. Terrible customer relations by management, leaving Low level employees to get screamed at by customers. Management not taking employees into consideration. Company is all about the money but prides themselves on the community. Employees constantly leaving. And no room to move up.
