Pros

Reliable work with good benefits package

Cons

I was hired on the premise of a lie. I was told it was possible to earn a salary as high as $45,000 in the first year. But there was already changes about be made and by the time I was hired, the pay system was changed and drastically reduced the pay. I was issued tools of poor quality. I had to repeatedly ask for good tools, and I finally just bought my own. Dealing with irate, entitled, and ignorant customers on a daily basis. Performance metrics are unrealistic, and they're very difficult to achieve and concurrently maintain high quality work. Expected to work in all conditions, never mind the claim of "safety" as being #1. Field support goes home at 7 pm sharp, and we're frequenctly left in the field blind with no support. I have been home as late as 11 pm. 7-9 is typical.

Pros

take home vehicle, decent equipment

Cons

you dont even get paid until you arrive at your first job. you have to be at first job by 8am. if it takes you an hour or TWO to get to that first job, youre leaving your house at 6am. You dont get paid for the two hours youre driving a company vehicle, in uniform, to that first job. When youre done with your last job of that day you clock out. if it takes you that same two hours to get back home, again, youre not paid for it. The hourly wages suck. The ONLY way youre hitting 3,500-4500 bucks a month is if youre working 100 hours a week. do the math. If youre willing to bust your hump doing 100 hour weeks for a paltry take home of $2,000 then this is the job for you
