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

Pays pretty well, Great marketing and R&D good products. Senior Employees still keep the culture going.

Cons

Forgot about the customers, Field Reps overloaded and cannot take care of customers. Policies make little sense with the work that needs to be done. Senior employees have little upward mobility and often overlooked or pressured to move on.
