Pros

ARS as a company attempts to give back. You can make good money but the company owns you.

Cons

Leadership strongly “encourages” its managers and employees to write positive reviews in order to lift the ratings from all of the negative reviews. It didn’t feel natural and our VP pushed it. Moral is terrible. Upper management is willing to drive employees into the ground in order to get results. A demotivating environment.

While we do encourage our employees to leave reviews, we ask them to write honest ones based on their experience working at ARS. We notice you still an employee and have been for some time. We'd like to discuss your experience working at ARS and encourage you to reach out at talent@ars.com to set up a time to talk.

Pros

Great pay, amazing benefits, super easy if you’re a people person, amazing management team

Cons

Intensive KPI tracking, independent workload, not work life balance friendly. Your performance can be affected if you’re having a bad day. People treat you like scum of the earth

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.
