Pros

Being on the road meeting a mix of people and being somewhere different everyday.

Cons

You are treated like dirt, you are cleaning dirt, you get covered in dirt. I have never worked for a company that cares so little for its staff. Even those who have given 30 years loyal service got pushed out without even a second thought. You are dealing with chemicals all day that are hazardous to health without adequate PPE. You are pressured to bring in sales but not rewarded or thanked when you do. I was once involved in a crash at work that disabled my van and gave me serious whiplash, when I phoned the office to report this thier first response was .... Did you get all your work done? I wasn't even asked if I was ok. Manager cooks the books at everyone else's expense .... I think you get the picture!!!!!

Pros

Good people at branch. Some managers are good others don't know what is going on

Cons

No room for growth, not enough respect for a persons knowledge in their profession to trust their decisions or suggestions.Management always ready to sell you out. Hard work always overlooked and unappreciated. Come in with big numbers and they ask why you didn't do more. Never a thank you. Management has a motto "I don't care how you get it (revenue), just get it"... meaning, screw your customer, just being in big money.
