Pros

It is a good place to start, and you will learn how to deal with this industry.

Cons

Where do I began. They are not intern friendly in every department. It's luck of the draw at this place. I was put in a department with nasty, disgruntle, people. I was constantly beat down by the folks who work there. I was very depressed.

Not a bad place to work for

Pros

You work independently, meet some interesting people. The hours are pretty good, take the work truck home, when we need something, co-workers are generally there to help you out - make sure you return the favor - my sup, is pretty decent as well. For on-call, you're paid from the time you leave your driveway, til you pull back in - minimum of two hours.

Cons

The hours and days we work are changing; if you have a family, and want to spend time with them on the weekends and evenings, I would take some time to think about, if this job is for you. Loss of reciprocal accounts, on call not my favorite thing - if you're not called out, its extra money just for being "on-call". Dealing with customers can sometimes be trying, if you're patient with them, then they're pretty appreciative of your time. Menu/Guides are dated.

Just Awful.

Pros

-Free cable,internet if living in the footprint. If you do not live in the footprint, depending on the cable company in your area, they may give you discounts on your service. -Pretty decent insurance.

Cons

-Completely disconnected with employees that aren't upper management. -Bosses were huge backstabbers and would claim they only had your best interests at bay, which a day later they showed this was not true -There were issues with a coworker whom was getting singled out and targeted and when taken to upper management it was brushed off, when should have been taken very seriously. -Commission kept getting shifted and lowered. -Much of management had no experience and I found myself having to teach them things rather than the other way around. I hate to say it but it was almost as if much of the management was just scooped up from the side of the road without any even related experience.
