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

Different stuff every day, lots (!LOTS) of overtime, interesting situations.

Cons

As an operations (driver or technician) employee, it is easy to get the feeling that corporate wishes they could just subcontract your entire department. Only sales and management get any recognition or development, and it can be very challenging to move from ops to sales. Also, when you rely on overtime, things like vacations or illnesses can devastate your income. You will always be running two steps behind, without the proper training or tools to do the job right.
