Pros

The role provides significant physical activity and offers substantial working hours, with opportunities for overtime compensation available.

Cons

The onboarding experience yields inconsistent results, hindered by an extensive training program that prioritizes regulatory compliance over practical skill development. Rather than effectively preparing new employees for their roles, the training appears designed primarily to satisfy policy requirements and documentation standards. The tools and equipment issued to staff are outdated and inadequate for daily operations. Similarly, the personal protective equipment falls well below acceptable quality standards, making it unsuitable for the demanding conditions faced by field personnel. These resource limitations create additional challenges for employees attempting to perform their duties safely and effectively. The organization promotes a public image of inclusivity and employee development through corporate messaging and policies, yet fails to demonstrate genuine commitment to these values in practice. This disconnect between stated priorities and actual implementation results in inefficient use of employee time and resources, with minimal meaningful investment in staff growth or inclusive workplace culture.

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.
