Pros

-Great opportunities for experienced and inexperienced individuals who are looking to learn the trade. -Great atmosphere. Owner and management that take care of their employees. -There is always great incentives and ways to earn extra cash. -business is constantly growing here... So many great opportunities.

Cons

This is a emergency service, so you could be working late hours.... But hey you are given your own truck with gas paid for by the company and this just gives you more opportunities to make cash. Let's be honest that's why we are all looking for a job in the first place.

Pros

Most have no clue here so you'll look like a star. That's about it.

Cons

You supply all tools. You will be expected to charge about $300-700 an hour. The franchisees are investors that have been sold a business plan that is all about taking money out of your pocket with insane parts markups and stuff like fuel charges on every invoice, plus the lowest commission rates around. Similar to the Contractor 2000/ Nexstar cult like brainwashing tactics are used to try to make you believe that, for example, installing a cleanout should cost $3500-8500. You will find the typical backstabbing office vs. serviceman relationship here, and have people that have nowhere close to you skill level trying to treat you like a subordinate every day. Moral of you fellow serviceman will be horrible. You'll be lucky to get more then two calls a day. Inspectors and public work employees will be after you and look at you like a scumbag thief. You'll be expected to sell "advantage plans" for $199 to "help" customers save money. These plans may bring the prices down to near what the industries TOP average flat rate jobs SHOULD cost.
