Pros

Independent location mentality. The manager if allowed to run the business as he pleases with little influence from divisional management. The work environment consists with dealing with local contractors which requires thick skin and easygoing attitude.

Cons

Market dependent business can affect business easily. Personal growth is limited as I was not allowed to take Master Degree classes I was personally paying for. Also, the advancement limit is being a branch manager for the most part. Higher level management positions are extremely limited and usually occupied till retirement.

Pros

Very nice coworkers and you get to travel a good amount in your first year. Guided training process wasn’t bad

Cons

Low pay and long hours. The contract they’ll have you sign in misleading on salary. You’re basically going to be a hourly employee your first 2/3 years and more likely than not are not going to be making the amount on the contract unless you do a lot of overtime. There is a lot of corporate pressure on being able to move wherever they tell you to also. My best advice is to look at what your local managers lives are like and consider if they’re happy or not. You have to have a certain amount of being a loner in you to be ok with their outlandish moving expectations.
