Pros

Company vehicle and. Pcard for tools and business needs etc. Uniforms. Training will improve once travel restrictions are removed, good team in Florida

Cons

Work life balance, starting to micro manage employees, unrealistic budget increases 25% year over year. Our annual salary has OT baked into so its hard to have confidence in your salary when overtime could get cut

Pros

The job provides alot of personal freedom in allowing you to schedule your route how you see fit. Decent benefits. You get your own vehicle and don't pay for gas.

Cons

In recent years the company has started downsizing. It started about 4 years ago in our division. Went from a salary of about $42k+18% of all additional sales -which a decent worker could make about 80k a year with- to an hourly pay that fluctuates based on the amount of revenue you generate in a week. That system has now moved company wide for all field level employees and everyone has seen massive paycuts. This used to be a great company to work for because you could make awesome money. I make pretty good sales for the company, but the sales never seem to add up in my paycheck like they should. Any salary review you see pre 2019 is wrong. Expect to make between $48-$60k/year. Anyone who makes more than that just got lucky and has customers who spend LOTS of money.

Pros

Not many pros anymore, service job sold as a sales career

Cons

Reorganization eliminated my sales position and re-packaged it as a service position. Essentially demoted after 8+ years of being a top performer. Clueless management promoting inexperienced, young employees and turning their backs on loyal, devoted employees that have put up excellent sales numbers year after year
