Pros

Good benefits for self (not for families). Retirement plan, and other employee benefits

Cons

Family benefits very expensive. Schedulers not very good at arranging jobs in a logicial order. I spent over half the day driving from one end of the bay area to the other end and I lived in Sacramento.

Pros

Get to meet wonderful people in the field

Cons

Micromanaged to the Extreme, Hurry up and take your time, unreachable sale goals they make you do or should I say threaten you with, then go behind your back meet with your customer and tell them you over charged them, pushing hard for on time service then have morning meets then ask later why you didn’t do the customers that were scheduled that morning, truly don’t care how many hours you work
