Pros

You can take work truck home.

Cons

Management has created a challenging work environment where technician support and fair compensation do not appear to be priorities. There are no performance-based bonuses or consistent annual raises, despite strong expectations around sales. Call distribution lacks transparency, with higher-quality leads often going to a small, select group, making it difficult for others to perform at their full potential. Technicians are also expected to take calls after scheduled hours (8 AM – 4 PM), which impacts work-life balance. Additionally, time and travel policies raise concerns. Technicians clock in upon arrival at the customer’s location rather than when travel begins, even when jobs are over an hour away. This results in significant unpaid driving time, often exceeding two hours per day. In some cases, technicians are required to travel to appointments even when customers are unresponsive, leading to cancellations or reschedules without compensation for the time lost. Overall, the expectations placed on technicians are high, but the structure and support systems in place do not consistently reflect or reward that effort.
