Pros

The philosophy communicated prior to and during on-boarding is that of a family-owned, Christian company with huge growth potential.

Cons

The reality is that turnover is well-above industry averages for nearly every role in the company from General Service Tech, to Technician, to General Manager, to Corporate Office Employees. It is not uncommon to have the average new employee last fewer than one month. No 401k, no paid holidays (except 8 hours on Christmas, when they expect 11 hour days), and if you are one of the very few that make it more than a year to earn vacation, it is lost at termination (whether voluntary or involuntary). They claim they want to keep the pay at the top with the General Managers, but in reality they find any way to avoid paying full GM bonuses that are rightfully due. Unless you a desperate for a job right now that may not be there in two weeks, keep looking.

Pros

Agressive corporate advertising attracts many new customers every day. The owner, Mike Daniel, personally trains each new hire how his system works so that each person knows the part they play in the operation in the facility.

Cons

Mike continually recruits new people so that he may continously fire the lowest perceived employees. Since Mike expects instant results, this puts so much pressure on his employees that they approach the customer base with high pressure tactics to survive. There is not opportunity to build trusting relationships with customers.
