Pros

No one looking over your shoulder most of day. Always job openings because so much turn over.

Cons

Commissions are less than told when hired. Majority of employees have not had a raise in 5 years, Managements answer is "You make more money by working longer hours "(salary plus commission, so no overtime). 12 hour days are norm. Trucks are constantly breaking down, no one in charge of maintenance or record keeping. Employees are treated with very little respect. Most companies I have worked for in past would dismiss managers for the way they treat employees here.

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.
