We're happy to hear you like our discount - it's one of the many benefits of working with us! I'd like to understand more about the issues you had with your schedule so we can rectify that issue for you. We do allow our Technicians to earn more money based on their ability to provide total solutions for our customers so there can be a healthy level of competition to see who can provide the best solutions.

Please reach out to your Regional HR Manager so we can help you. Thanks, Angie Miller VP-HR
