Business Outlook

Pros

Interaction with customers, decent pay and benefits for the area. Also a lot of good employees at the grass roots level.

Cons

Upper management needs to get down to the branch level and see what it really takes to make this business successful. Over the last several years they have take the approach of bringing in people from the outside rather than promote from within and it has done nothing to improve the business while demoralizing the front-line employees. Who wants to work somewhere that has no opportunity for advancement. Also, managers don't seem to give a hoot about employees unless they are the "chosen ones". It seems all the want to do is get rid of people instead of helping them to improve.

Business Outlook

Pros

Independent work, flexible hours, below industry pay but pretty good benefits offered. Technician managers are flexible and good to work with.

Cons

Corporate seems to enjoy half baked production incentives to increase sales. Lack of follow through creates distrust in the employees.

Good place to learn, terrible for everything else

Business Outlook

Pros

You can really grow a career fast within the company. You will learn a lot about a corporate model, how to run a business, work with all types of management styles, and have the opportunity to grow in different directions. Overall, a good place to start a career.

Cons

Too many changes that don't benefit the associates or customers. Everything has become so centralized and messy in the past couple of years. Hours are very long, pressure is very high, associate turnover is through the roof. Sales and production goals are unattainable, and the associates and customers suffer as a result. Upper management overhauls each year, and new drastic changes are implimented. The company culture is poor, and associates don't trust the company to do right by them. Branch level management is constantly involved with regional HR to help put out fires and deal with the affects changes have on associates, whether it's pay related, goal related, lay-off related, etc. It becomes very difficult to work under these various conditions.
