You work your butt off and are not compensated fairly. Yes it looks like you make a good amount of money (sometimes), but you pay for all of your gas (and drive an absurd amount, pay for all the maintenance on your car due to all of the driving, pay for housing, pay for incentives for your painters, and sometimes work 18 or more hour days. District managers make or break your experience and if you have a bad one then you’re screwed. There is never a conversation about how you are doing or what they can do to help make your experience better. It’s always how many estimates do you have set or where are you marketing next. The company uses you to take a ridiculous amount of overhead from your business. The values say it’s all about family, but they use you until your burnt out and then throw you aside like you were never part of the company.
