Pros

the pay is alright,the benefits are good

Cons

where to start,i don't know if all the yards are this way,but there were not enough employees to do all the work so they choose the least laziest and pile on the work load,and far as work/home time it was bad,start at 8:00 am and some days i would not get to go home until 7:00 or 7:30 pm while everyone else has gone home 5:00 or 5:30

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
