Pros

Alone time on the road with no manager breathing down your neck. "So so"pay Time to see the insect world ..ya know Roaches,Fleas and Ticks

Cons

Zero Life ..no family,no friends ,no kids,,,NO LIFE. 15 cent a year raises..10 yrs with the company you can make a huge $11.50 hr. 2 days of personal time a year. two weeks of vacation time a year ,you can use when upper management thinks its OK ..No Oct-Feb time off Paid holidays is the biggest scam off all...you work your day off and they pay you for the holiday 8 straight hrs (not overtime ones) Employee purchase puts you on the same ground as customers..over paying even at store cost for cheap junk. Benefits other then dental is way overpriced and worthless. Management calls the shots ..you take the blame if it doesn't go well. Stressful quotas to make weekly. Dealing with the armpit of society. Dangerous situations on repos. Favoritism on whom to repo or not.While credit numbers slack. Long hours Hard work during harsh weather. They think sending one man to deliver a double door fridge up 100 stairs ..acceptable. Terrible turnover and cut throat employees purposely getting upper management fired to advance.

Pros

Good benefits, good pay, fun place to work. The company does provide a great place for professionals and great plans for education, management does give you room to grow and the ability to input thoughts and you feel like part of a team.

Cons

They don't do random drug tests, if they did half of IT would be out of work starting with some Management. They should have better recuriting practices, the IT managers have no clue what their employees do or what their job should entail. Compentent employees that work hard will get all the work shifted to them, with no promotion or positive review of them, while other employees can continue to have sub par performance. There are probably 3 people in all of IT Management Hub, that know what they are doing. It is amazing the amount of IT Directors & Managers that does not understand IT and it is amazing how they got in the position they did.
