Pros

The people at the company are hard working and nice to work with

Cons

Corporate does not act like a corporation. They let the local divisions run on their own, with no real direction or consistency. The communication in the company really does not exist. The everyday employees have no idea what the corporate stategic objectives are or what their plans are.

Pros

The job is comm. based on number of units service and type of units serviced. The chance of increasing your pay is largely up to you. The routes very each day and through out the year. Your work alone to keep the customers happy. Good benifits and a fair work environment. Out in the weather all day.

Cons

Units are service 24/7. During the busy summer months can be burned out with 6 days and 50 plus hours every week. This includes holidays and especially special events.
