Pros

Truly having control over the kind I work I do is important. After completing work it's always a rewarding feeling to leave a job well done. Bob, the owner, has created a successful work environment to do so. When customers are happy, the money is right.

Cons

I can't always help a customer. Sometimes just being one guy with tools and experience in a van isn't enough for some jobs. Even if two of us show up we still might have to rent tools and that's usually cuz it's a big job.

This is the most crooked company I have ever worked for

Pros

There are not any positive things to say about this company and they will have an office employee write a good review to try and balance their rating after I post this. They always do.

Cons

 I know this company very well. They overcharge customers and constantly have rework. Potential customers don't get to see the many bad reviews because the they purposefully don't send the survey email to the many customers that have bad experiences. Whenever someone makes a bad review they have someone from the office go write a good review for them. Most of this happens on homeadvisor. They also steal money from their employees. They change the employees time sheet so they don't have to pay them what they earned. They also forced the employees to wait in their vans for hours without pay waiting for another job. If an employee has to go back to a job for rework, they make the employee pay for it out of their check as well as work for free. That is illegal. If an employee calls in sick on a weekend they make the employee pay for money that the company supposedly would have made, which is also illegal. They tell the employees that they are contractors even though they control the employees schedule, give them company phones, company van, company credit card and company gas card.they even have the employees fill out a w2 Yet they try and tell the emoyees they only have to pay them by the job instead of by the hour. Also illegal. The company makes the employees charge customers (van stock) for the employees using their own tools they bought and then the company keeps that money. This company is a bunch of crooks. They lie, they cheat and they steal. They laugh in the office and talk about how they cannot believe customers actually pay that much money for easy work. I cannot express enough how crooked this company is.

Pros

there are no pros to speak of

Cons

the previous review of April 2019 was spot on! what little training there was was severely lacking and you are thrown on the phones with high expectations but have NO idea what you are doing which makes each phone call beyond difficult! differing opinions are rampant between employees and one girl threw me under the bus and LIED about what she had directed me to do on a call in front of everybody and I then had to listen to a 15 minute discussion about how perceptions can differ. I turned down 3 other job offers to take this one and am very sorry that I did. please read the reviews before taking any position, thank you Glassdoor! There are NO benefits at all, despite what the ad and website states.
