Pros

Very little pro to write about but need. 20 word so here go. It a pay check and you get company truck you pay for tolls and parking and then they reimburse you about a month later.

Cons

No time to spend with your family and you can forget family vacation going out to a dinner with the wife. Plus let's not forget the level of stress placed by management and salespeople. management believe the tech are replaceable and do not care only the bottom dollar that's all. Hr or who ever dose the first interview will tell you that you have 2 week payed vacation what they don't tell you I that you have complete a months worth of work in 3 week or not get payed. And that for one week oh and your vacation can be cancel last min. There co worker who wife giving brith and he has to work. Oh yes if you check most those guy (tech) are not happy at all
