Pros

If you don't enjoy interacting with people or dislike office politics, this job might be perfect for you. The role offers a great deal of flexibility, allowing you to manage your own schedule. Your daily tasks mainly involve constant visits to clients' locations for service-related appointments, along with handling various tedious matters. In terms of entry-level compensation, the salary is considered fairly decent.

Cons

This role requires understanding the principles behind various chemicals and dealing with numerous dishwasher malfunctions (assuming you do not hold a legitimate electrical operation license). Support for this position is often lacking, so do not expect substantial assistance from the company. As a result, in recent years, over 80% of new colleagues have resigned within six months. Additionally, you must endure working in dirty environments, as the client locations you visit are often the filthiest kitchens where encounters with rats and cockroaches are common. More than half of the clients you deal with are not considered Key Persons. However, the flexible environment has led to the presence of a group of employees who have been with the company for over 30 years. These individuals lack competitiveness and are unwilling to try new things.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
