Pros

A company truck, average insurance, average 401K match.

Sales pricing levels were on the higher end for equipment. This would lead to lost jobs. Project support was week. Management was stretched too far to help.

Pros

Was able to make good money, got sales experience

Cons

Too many to count. Ive seen physical, mental, verbal abuse at the branch management level. Ive see narcissistic behavior daily. Manipulation. Gossiping. No support. Thats all from management. They do not care about you at all. Imagine giving your life to a company and ranking top 3 in your region to get no promotion and watch someone less experienced get that job… oh and they are home watching netflix all day. This company is a joke. My DSM would never get out of the truck on ride alongs and mocked me when I asked for help and ways to grow here. I could have a class action lawsuit against this company EASILY. Oh and my coworker was stealing information and selling it to the competition. When I spoke up? I was told to sign a sheet or im fired and not to mention it again. That person still works there too thats the best part!

Pros

Fun company to work at. Striving to get better. The tech movement we are making can bogg you down a bit but the industry itself is fun and their is always a cool project to be apart of.

Cons

the Micro Managing has gotten out of hand. The way we utilize Salesforce has made it become more of a burden than a tool. Also, we could use a lot more gear. More gear = more rentals. Also they made us peel our front window tint on all vehicles.
