Pros

You get a paycheck and benefits. Coworkers can be fun. Excellent choice if you are single and can give your entire life to the company and if you are in an area where the drivers and mechanics are union.

Cons

They give no training.I was never given a chance to complete my on boarding. I am expected to be on call 24/7, which they neglected to tell me until they handed me a cell phone on my first day. Store managers constantly make there own rules and then cook books so corporate thinks they are doing amazing, and the district higher ups know about all this. I am surprised they still have a customer base with the just say yes mentality, they promise so much to the customers face and then the individual stores can not deliver that. No one thinks with realistic expectations since if your not a sales person or higher up manager you are treated like a piece of rental equipment, not a human.

Pros

company truck, company gas, expense account

Cons

Coercive Non-Competes: Instead of retaining talent through fair pay and competent leadership, management uses overreaching non-compete agreements to trap their workforce. Seeing colleagues like Zane bogged down by these heavy-handed tactics shows a fundamental lack of respect for employees' career mobility. Pervasive Micromanagement: Leadership insists on controlling minor details, bottlenecking progress and alienating competent employees. The Sunk Cost Fallacy: Instead of learning from mistakes, senior leaders consistently double down on poor decisions, driven by an unwillingness to admit fault. The Peter Principle in Action: The executive team suffers from an overinflated sense of their own acumen, which barely masks a fundamental lack of competence. People have clearly been promoted to their level of incompetence.
