Pros

I enjoy a change of scenery and different challenges every day. In some cases, we really provide an important service to customers.

Cons

It reminds me of the Auto Repair Shop, that forces its Technicians to SELL MORE Repairs that what are really needed. Convince the customer they need to buy way way more than they really need. Always upsell upsell upsell. Sell that attic restoration for several thousand, when it is not really needed. Seems like 50% of sales are upsells that weren't really needed. They watch and track you every second of every day.

Pros

Great benefits. Good pay. Fun job.

Cons

Technicians get over worked. Toxic environment to address concerns. When I moved to management I was work 16+ hours a day and was talked down to whenever I tried solving the over working issues. Too much focus on "completing tickets" even though half of work isn't properly sold or even completed. Insult to injury, after I was politely asked to leave, I encountered a rumor from my former manager that I was an alcoholic.
