Pros

The pay is great, you can make over 100k/year w/no education. Benefits are good and offered from day 1. All managers are different, but mine is supportive and understanding. She always has my back, same goes for my regional manager. I am a salaried employee who technically has 2 weeks of PTO/year, but my manager does not require you to use PTO if you are sick or have to leave early for doctors appointments or to pick up kids as long as you don't abuse it. We also get off major holidays, so you really get off 4 weeks/year. There is the opportunity for advancement within the company. I have been with the company 1.5 years and I have received 2 raised and a promotion. My hard work has been recognized and rewarded, and I feel appreciated by my bosses.

Cons

There are no repercussions for body techs when they do shady things or push out poor quality work because there is such a shortage of body men these days, but that is not really the companies fault. Most days I work at least 10 hours, sometimes more. There is next to no training provided for you. They throw you in the deep end and hope you learn how to swim quickly.

Pros

Benefits are good. Some effort for consistency. I like staying busy and there is almost always something to do. Some people are nice.

Cons

I really wanted to like this company. It’s very corporate. It’s very involved. There is a lot of micromanagement. People really do act like they’re your friends and they are absolutely not. It’s hard to work somewhere for so much of your time where you truly can’t let your guard down or get too close. Everyone talks between shops, centers, regions, etc. There’s a lot of gossip throughout the company and even if you don’t think it goes somewhere, it does. It doesn’t matter if you are good at your job or a good person because they don’t care about that here. You can be entirely awful to people here and keep your job for years! I suppose that con is actually a pro because it makes it very difficult for someone to actually get fired from this company.
