Pros

Company provides great technical training for employees. Sales training is not nearly as good.

Cons

Safety is taught but not strictly inforced. Management sometimes looks the other way to insure that jobs are completed. National advertising is not very effective and more local advertising is needed. This is left up to the branch manager who may or may not want to spend any extra money. Sales people are paid on a draw so pay levels are usually low due to seasonal business conditions. Sales people also have to use their own vehicles but can get paid for mileage.

Pros

About the best I can say is that, as a service manager, you will have at least some measure of autonomy.

Cons

Poor classroom training for lower level employees (such as technicians and sales people) Focus is on getting the company paid- not at all on solving a customer's problems Managers are expected to cut corners in terms of materials, as well as time their employees spend doing service calls Horrible quality of goods and services Highly questionable business ethics
