ARS-Rescue Rooter reviews about "employee"

Most trucks are trashed and not well taken care of and smell of feces and urine. Management doesn’t communicate well with each other which wreaks havoc with any company and their employees. It’s a sales job- you’re trying to up sale your “ drain cleaning service “ which are subject to outrageous prices because of “urgency” calls. The company has high standards for grooming but put you in a 10 year old truck that has paint chipping and rust everywhere. Filling out paper work twice for each job which is redundant but guess why you do it? To make sure the company is covered with the customer signing At least 3+ times every service. If none of that bothers you- get in there they would love to train you to be a drain cleaning / plumbing salesperson.

They work you to death No life-work balance Management has favorites among employees Management decide if you going to eat or not

Benefits started slipping away after ARS took over, healthcare premiums went up (unless you were grandfathered in) despite the fact that new management told me that a great benefit of joining a large, international corporation was to have more money for employee benefits. So that was interesting. Also, got yelled at by angry customers several times daily because we constantly overbooked the schedule and rescheduled 20% of jobs. Also prices are super high, so we got yelled at about that too. And then Karens discovered our 100% satisfaction guarantee and figured out that if they complain enough they will get their money back, so pile that on. Required to work 9 hour days to accommodate a mandatory, unpaid 1 hour lunch break.

The only down side I have of working for ARS is our facility and equipment. We are a small location in Wilmington, NC so our office furniture is a bit old. Training is another area , some of use get left behind when it comes to updates due to the slow communication we tend to have.

Main Boss was a jerk, lots of local travel, little reimbursement for employees costs

Work every other Saturday. Working in attics in Summer

Demand for prioritizing company interests over family needs including medical emergencies. Expects employees to invest more time, developing marketable, high level skills, adding endless extra duties (outside of the job description) without promotion or pay raise.

How about some acquisitions in states we are not currently present.

not to many cons with this company. Only thing I could ask is a little more in pay but don't think its to far down.
