The opportunities for growth at the head office are limited due to the fact there are only about 50 employees

Spend more time understanding who our competitors are and how they are affecting the business of junk removal. Secondly build more comprehensive marketing plans based on learning more about the competitors.

Pros

You are constantly lifting and working out so you tend to stay in shape.

Cons

On the road all day lifting heavy things and then driving to the next location to do it all over. Generally its overly repetitive. The services in my mind are overpriced and from talking to current employees they have stopped the profit sharing which was the only perk to the days where you work LONG days sometimes 7am-7pm or later. Once worked 7am-10pm

Pros

Great work environment
Fun atmosphere
Excellent bonus opportunities
Good management
Great job for anyone who is willing to work hard

Cons

Hard work
Long days
Sometimes no work (not full time if people aren't scheduling appointments)
Tiring being on the road so much

Advice to Senior Management

Don't overhire -- I'd rather see less employees but working 40hr/wk than see few employees working 20-30hr/wk
Remain positive
