Pros

The people you meet and get to work side by side with. Commision percentage on sales is better than most. Bonuses when you get them are great.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations, you do the job of 3 people at once and corporate managers don't understand what it actually takes on the front lines. By stream lining processes they are throwing customers out the window and making the associates pay for it. Almost never allowed to take time off, when you take it off you must have your work phone with you.

Pros

Only two good reasons do exist. The first, I am employed, the second, they offer a decent benefits package. That's it.

Cons

We work 13 hour days in 100 degrees, with no breaks and no guarantee of pay. Our entire route's commission is affected by corporate buying out other companies who's customers cancel. When we express concern or complain about the scheduling system which often squeeze 6 stops into a 2 hour period in three different zip codes with no allowance for drive time, we are told to just make it work. We're also reminded of the current economy and how many people are in line for our jobs. There is absolutely no management support, they just say it's out of their hands. We are treated poorly by the CSRs and have no recourse, there are no consequences for techs who cut corners and no reward for those with ethics who do a good job. I expect a mass exodus come Fall.

Benifits are outstanding with the PPO

Cons

Seen others passed over, Sales commission scales are low for the amount of work done and profitability of the company.
