Pros

there's room for advancement, but you have to be proactive in order to get raises, or chances to move up in the company. If you don't say something about wanting a raise, a better position within the company, or making sure to get the proper endorsements on your license, don't expect to get much out of management. Pretty similar to any other job, really. You get out of it what you put into it. Making it clear that you want to improve your position is the only way to get ahead here.

Cons

management isn't concerned with their employees wellbeing, and the customers? they're no longer people to management. Only accounts. All they care about is getting as many applications done in a day, no matter what the quality of those treatments might have been. The company will set up free service calls no matter what, so the tech that did the original application, very seldom is the one that has to clean up the mess. Not to mention the dealing with the angry customers.

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.
