Pros

Easy interview process, some of the technicians were nice.

Cons

They offer extremely low salary with promises you’ll make a lot in commission but do absolutely anything to not pay you. Very disorganized management. Constant, pointless meetings and unrealistic expectations where they give nothing back. Micromanagement. Training is basically you watching random videos with no help or guidance beyond that. Sometimes it’s videos that don’t even pertain to your position. Lots of driving to other offices that could have been done remotely. Some technicians would just say no to doing jobs or do them so poorly you lose the customer. Also claw back on commission for reasons out of your control. Just an extremely negative experience.
