Pros

Opportunity to serve and elevate others.

Cons

Current system is designed to make that pro nearly impossible. You cannot put profit ahead of your people and expect to succeed. Many training programs are bandaids to staunch bleeding on ambiguous practices. Branch level managers are routinely handed the keys to the castle prior to completion of training and are left holding a large ring of keys trying to find the locks they fit. The award winning training looks great on paper. Unfortunately, there is no librarian or dewy decimal system to navigate properly.

Pros

Good benefits. Management is decent and friendly. You'll never be short on work. Starting pay is about 17 hourly in Jax FL. After training and licencing you can move to production pay which is basically a commission. About 17% of each home you service. Pay checks are decent. Weekends off. Day shift. All positives.

Cons

Understaffed. High turnover rate. Those 2 factors lead to upset clients and somewhat disorganized management or operations, scheduling etc. Also results in staff having to pick up the slack of others who quit or left the company. Some work days are short but some can be very long.
