Pros

Managers are scared of the crazy CEO so they work along side you to get work done. Turn over is high so you have potential to move up.

Cons

System they use has bugs so doesn't work properly sometimes but it will looked as your fault and stores will be duped into keeping them up. Engineering team does not build brackets with enough heads up for installation, which causes install times to go down which again will be looked as installers incompetence. CEO barely knows what he is doing so will give orders that are not feasible. CEO believes his AI system is perfect and it is employees that are not working properly even when he has over 100 bad cameras sitting in front of him that don't work and another box of brackets that don't fit.

Pros

the freedom of the job; each day you worked at a different location.

Cons

The hours are short; they time you on the tasks so you'll drive 1 hour to work 1 hour. Management issues , Unreliable with hours , you might not work for months then suddenly be asked to work and they expect you say ," Yes sir ". This is not a career , this is only a part time job so treat it as such.
