Pros

good benefits, company car, laptop to help with work.

Cons

on call 24/7, weekend coverage where you cover everyones territory all weekend so you can have a few weekends off, depending on how many are in your district. you do have a company car but don't get enough money for gas. i spend on average 300.00 to 400.00 a month extra out of my pocket. you are responsible to cover other peoples territories plus yours if they are sick, on vacation, or help them with installing equipment. your job is to sell, but all you do is install equipment, fix equipment, and go home exhausted to just spend the rest of the night answering e-mails and doing reports. if this sounds good for $40,000.00 a year go for it. very stressful and good luck taking your vacation. idon't know anyone that even takes the amount of vacation they get. i rolled my two weeks over from 2012 to 2013 because i was behind budget and was told by management that i couldn't.

Pros

Executives seem to know what they are doing to keep the company profitable. Culture at HQ is great and a lot of great people!

Cons

Certain Districts can be toxic in leadership and culture. Former manager was a bit sloppy and lazy at times. He conducted my final interview wearing a faded black t-shirt with fresh food stains and a blazer over it. Interview was conducted at a Pizzeria near his home that I traveled over an hour to reach since he wanted to work from home that day. He often didn't return calls and pushed off responsibilities of training me to others who were too busy to instruct me on how to do my job best.

Pros

The company seems to encourage growth in the skills and career paths of the employees. Some good managers used to give good bonuses.

Cons

Customer Service. I am not exaggerating when I say that maintenance people are treated better than the people who work in Customer Service. I was so happy when I took a job upstairs in the free world.
