Pros

Job security, safe environment, great pay, work truck, free phone, great health care, zero micro-management, own set schedule

Cons

They buy as many companies as they can, but keep their own junk operating procedures. Most companies they buy are doing much better than them, so they buy them, and continue down their crappy path. Domination by size not efficiency at this point.

Pros

Hours, pay was "decent", company vehicle, enjoyed working with other employees at the branch, certain members of management got "it", others, not so much. Enjoyed the interaction with customers in the field, had a lot of great friendships.

Cons

too much to mention really, Micro management, no loyalty to employees, intimidating tactics, unreasonable goals and demands, if you werent one of the "butt smoochin employees", your time is limited. Paperwork paperwork paperwork......Disappointment in the way i was treated

Pros

Salaries are good overall. Great benefits.

Cons

Older employees tend to be first to go during a head count issue, business downturn, etc. Company is very youth minded, focusing on the future of the company. When you cross into your 50's, watch out. You no longer represent the future for the company, and you are at a greater risk to be moved out as soon as a reason can be found other than discrimination. Older applicants with years of experience always lose out to younger college grads with no experience in the business. Very costly.
