Pros

If you don’t know how to fix anything on the planet they will hire you.

Cons

Every thing. Raleigh office would not pay you while you waited for your truck to get worked on. It doesn’t matter how much you put in and grow or learn they will not give you a pay raise. Don’t you dare ask the office people how much they make because you will find out the make more than you and have never been in a attic in August and never dealt with some rich baby boomer arguing with you about prices in their 2 million dollar house. It doesn’t matter how much money you make these people, you will always be an inconvenient way for them to make money. They will make you sell people things/parts/accessories they don’t need. They will expect you screw all of your customers over and preach about ethics while never giving you a single pay raise. Good luck telling grandma her hvac won’t work because she needs to buy a new unit or the “advantage plan” or spend $400 on a part that cost $10. Have fun being at the shop 3 days a week just in case they want to have a meeting. Also you don’t have a company credit card and are expected to spend your own money to fix things unless there’s a RE Michael nearby. Have fun working until 3am and then sleeping for 30 minutes just to get a call from someone that lives 1 hour 45 minutes from you and you show up and they’re high on dugs and don’t own the house.

Pros

Pay is good if they are not sending you home because they have "no work"

Cons

If there a less than 1 star rating they would get it. Managment does not care about their people they will work you until you're sick, dead, or divorced. There in no work life balance. Basically a very TOXIC work environment

Pros

Co-workers are great. Very informal and laid back environment. Office staff are like family, field staff are laid back as well. Inside the office, we tolerate each other like family. We tick each other off one moment, but in the next we're back joking around with each other. Most times it's a very enjoyable environment to work in.

Cons

There's very little diversity as you go further up within the company. Very poorly managed from the top down. Initially it comes across as being very people and customer oriented, but you soon learn that it's all about the number. Customers have to wait 24-48 hours to speak to a manager, and sometimes that time is extended. They're not really concerned about the skillset of their office employees. They just want bodies. An individual can have amazing verifiable experience in an administrative area, and be hired for this purpose by Talent Acquisition, but in the end, at the local level, management will put this person on phone duty, operating as a CSR. They just want bodies to answer the phones. Most staff have primary administrative duties which have critical deadlines, but are also expected to operate in a CSR capacity. Training is a joke. There are no designated trainers, or designated time for a staff member to train a new office employee without interruptions. The new employee more than likely will just be shadowing while the seasoned staff member is chugging along a their normal pace to get their work done and meet deadlines. There's not much time or space allowed for slowing down and asking questions. It's really a "trial by fire", "throw em to the wolves", "sink or swim" type of training environment. Proper training typically isn't given until noticeable mistakes that affect revenue are made. Reactive, not proactive training. Management is driven/pushed by Corporate micro management and "Numbers Guys" in upper management, so the "suck" here is not entirely lower level management's fault. Speaking your mind is often frowned upon, and when issues about management are brought up in direct communication w/ management there's a strong chance that you'll be gaslit. Sales and Service Coordinators take the blame for virtually everything that goes wrong, even when they're not directly involved in the situation. The attitude is much like, "Well, you all should've caught it before it happend".
