Pros

There are absolutely no pros. This job is underpaid for all the work they expect to slave you to do

Cons

Treat you like human slaves. You need to do $1200 worth of work for the company or they get pissed at you. Half of them are free service calls which means you have to do 25-30 houses a day to meet your quota. They have sales incentives but you have to fight to get the cash for your truck door to door sales you bring the company. Got into a car accident that wasn't my fault and they fired me and treated me like a criminal and withheld my pay, even when I gave advanced notice to come and get it. I would never work here again nor recommend anyone take this job. You work 12 hour days, starting at 6 am, and you do labor intensive work all day and have to drive 40-60mins back to the main office. For $14 an hour, this job is severely underpaid. Management didn't even ask once if I was okay after my accident. Stay far away from this company!!!

Pros

- Very very easy to move up in the company. If you dedicate a couple years and show skill in sales you can move up to a sales manager position extremely fast. If you are willing to move the opportunity to move up is even significantly easier and faster. - Almost all of management started at the bottom and worked their way up, if possible they always hire from within. - Good money, get out what you put in. - Direct Management is great, local and even regional management is almost even fantastic, but any higher then that becomes out of touch and very frustrating to (albeit indirectly) work with.

Cons

- Inconsistent at times about expectations, at times asking for one thing then immediately needing the other. Can be frustrated to be pulled in so many directions, but not even remotely unmanageable. - Lot's of hours, especially in management. Prime time? (March-End of May) Say goodbye to your personal life! Mandatory 1/2 day Saturdays, definitely a grind but worth it. - Frustrating policies and illogical outlook on what success looks like.
