The pay is good but expect to work long hours

Executive team leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is good and depending on the location the people can be great too. There is so much to do every day that you will never have a moment when you're not busy.

Cons

management isn't honest about promotions and increases. Hours are long and days are grueling. During the regular year you can expect to put in 10-12 hours a day easlily 5 - 6 days a week. Once the 4th quarter hits expect to do 6-7 days a week 12-15 hours a day. Visits are constant and are mostly a waste of time as they don't help fix any type of issues just take up your valuable time.
