Pros

Great week long training in Atlanta. Much on the job training and continuous support from branch manager, who can make your experience good or horrible. Company vehicle and gas card.

Cons

Long hours. Been working 55+ hours per week Mon - Sat because we are below projected sales. When slow time of the year (Nov - Feb) thay want you working extra hours to pull sales. During the peak season, they view "time as money" and want you out there taking advantage of it. I suppose this is one major reason for the high turnover. They also do a poor job of getting you leads in the slow season. I was handed one maybe two a week. You have to call yourself and set up the remaining 25+ appointments yourself. The pay could be very good but when adjusted to a 40 hour week, it comes out to ~$25K a year. If you have no family or social life and are willing to be married to a job, this is for you.

Pros

Lots of information to learn, talking to customers can be the best part of the day, sick pay is nice.

Cons

Management picks favorites and those favorites can treat you however they like with no fear of management stepping in. I have been treated poorly, blatantly ignored, and used as a dumping ground for unwanted roles. The work load is far too much for the pay. Training is not adequate.
