Pros

Gaining experience/ Knowledge from the Month training that's provided when first hired. Also the ability to schedule your own route.Ability to sell or give leads for extra cash.

Cons

Your pay is a draw that isn't explained when you first start. You really work 7 days a week and late nights because, when you're down with the route you have to call customers regarding non-payments or schedule. Also, you might have 17 stops already that day and the office calls to add more "Starts" to your day. The management is unorganized and unprofessional they lose service tickets and ask techs to do illegal things and threaten you if you refuse to do them. I wouldn't refer anyone to work for this company. The company said they were worried about customer service but the a BIG LIE only thing they are worried about is MONEY.

Pros

The money isn't too bad, you get to work outside and meet different people.

Cons

You work from dark to dark. Never any help. They will micro manage you.
