Parker and Sons

I'm not disgruntled ex-employee at Parker and Sons I'm upset that they became a company with no more morals. So my explanation in this review is to tell you what I saw and heard. I am very detailed oriented so I saw everything. They pushed my out to quit with there lack of connection with the service plumber. I was given an explanation of my job duties and my benefits. They were true for the first 6 months then things changed. Dispatch and managment are different. Dispatch would give you bad jobs if you questioned the job and denied it, they would retaliate by making your day even worse. My manager was great he did the best in supporting me especially with all of the family emergencies I had. Though when covid happen the company as a whole made so many changes and a huge extra work load on the service technician; that work out in the field was even harder. As time went on I noticed that the changes to the work was to benefit all office personal. Like working in the field wasn't hard enough with the heat/ cold, wet/ dry, person to person contact, all of the physical work you have to do on top of the closing ticket paper work include. This company is the largest in the state and in my opinion they say they care about you but in reality they don't, there actions have showed it time and time again. I worked for them for 2.5 years enough time to see all of the ugly. I wasn't the only one that left, many that were there for 5+ years have left and will leave. There is no work/ personal life balance they don't really care about that they just want you to take job after job say nothing and continue working until the board is clear my average time getting home was between 8-10 o'clock at night on my regular work nights. The on-call times we'll I'll let you imagine that. I did make very good money but with good money you sacrifice something and that's you living life. I was one of the outstanding workers who really went out of my way to benefit the company. I had many customers appreciation though the company really didn't give me any recognition. Oh they have there good oh boys too I tried everyday to out shine those guys but I couldn't compete. I am too honest of a person and those guys are liars and thieves with the way they sold P&S products I seen that a lot. 

This company is pretty large for residential HVAC, we currently have over 100+ technicians in HVAC alone not including plumbing and electrical. This is solely a commission job with a base hourly pay unless you’re a warranty tech. Our prices for any repair or accessories are flat rate and they are ridiculously high. This company lacks competent installers/ warranty technicians, so warranty work is quite prevalent here, meaning you’re only going to make your base hourly rate, which does not pay very well for the type of work you will be doing like replacing compressors, outdoor/indoor coils etc. The only people that make generous salaries are the people that are good up selling surge protectors/ hard start kits and indoor air quality products. There is obvious favoritism here, techs that are good at selling unneeded accessories will get better calls ie (10+ Year equipment, first time customers, no cools). They also act like dishonest diagnoses are discouraged here, but commission unfortunately breeds dishonesty. If you’re a good technician who is competent and doesn’t like upselling, I would not recommend this company. Hours are also very long here typical work day is anywhere from 8am to 6-8pm. You also will have a rotation day every 2 weeks which means you work 6 days straight and On Call is mandatory as well. They also do not provide tools besides a recovery machine and a shop vac. I have also found management to be hit or miss when helping you diagnose complicated issues with equipment/ customers.

We have a hardworking friendly atmosphere here at Parker and Sons. I am new to this company and I am loving it! Everyone has helped me establish my position and I feel that I am a perfect fit. I come into work looking forward to my day. Our business is picking up so the time just flies by during the day. I can tell you that management is a breath of fresh air. We have three managers in our department and I feel I can approach them at any time with questions or concerns. Each one says good bye to each of us at the end of the day and even give high fives or fist bumps. I feel that I am going to be here for many years to come. My coworkers have become my friends and great resources of knowledge. Other colleagues in other departments are kind and helpful. Our human resources department is like no other. They are transparent with our questions and have honest answers. There is consistency with the rules and they are very approachable. The owners of our company make an effort to talk to the employees and listen to suggestions. The knowledge of the gentlemen out in the field represent our company in a positive way. I feel we all agree that providing our customers with the best customer service, product, and service is our priority.

Working as a Business Development Representative with Parker & Sons has provided me with the opportunity to build great skill sets! A great part of this job is the constant pace and momentum that this job will continue to have you at, rather than having you in a little cuticle box you have the opportunity to constantly move around and engage with clients on a constant basis. 
This position/job is for any individual coming from any background! All you have to do is smile:)
What I find very encouraging is the opportunity to build relationships with repetitive clients who come to the store often, that's what I find very enjoying about this position. As a BDR, this position does come with it's fair share of hard parts, beyond your control!
 SIMPLIFIED FORMAT: IF YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO LEVEL UP YOUR LIFE & CHANGE THINGS IN A HEARTBEAT, THIS IS THE POSITION FOR YOU!!! THE DESIRE TO ACHIEVE SELF EXCELLENCE! THE WILL TO MOVE MOUNTAINS, THE COURAGE TO OVERCOME MENTAL BLOCKAGES, IS THIS YOU?!?! THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR YOU.
IF YOU WANT TO BE THE BEST, YOU MUST PARTNER WITH THE BEST!!!  DO YOU FEEL THAT FIRE IN YOU RIGHT NOW? GREAT! I'LL SEE YOU ON THE TEAM ;)


The promises they made seemed great but it turns out to be just words. Most HVAC techs I talked to made around $65-85k a year, not the $150-200k they advertise. Plus they all worked over 40hrs a week which means they aren’t making as much per hour when broken down. You get 20% of what you sell to customers and since Parker charges very high prices, you can make good money if you can sell or have no backbone. If you are a commission tech, they force you to do warranty jobs too which absolutely makes you take a hit financially. Plus you have to “rent” your uniform as well as pay for your phone and iPad every paycheck. I even got charged $75 for a misplaced phone charger.. Also you need to pay for all insurance coverages. On top of all this, you need to come to the office and do time wasting nexstar training a few times a month before shift start. Just so many pointless corporate things at a blue collar work place since it’s now owned by the wrench group. You are recorded at all times in your van and it reports things such as speeding or following to close and most infractions are bs but made a bigger deal than it is. This just wasn’t the company for me but it is for some people. 

As an older employee it was very refreshing to get the support that I have received from fellow dispatchers to my manager.  Everyone gets along well and works well together as a team, and the technicians are all easy to communicate with.  The days seem to pass quickly most of the time and makes the work week seem shorter, which I take as a bonus.  The company provides great benfits and the benefit manager is always available for questions.  It is a friendly and supportive work enviroment.

Parker & Sons is fast growing company in a in-demand industry. Parker and Sons provides full-spectrum training so that the trainee is supplied a full scope perspective of the business.

My immediate supervisor made it clear that his goal is to identify my goals and help me get there. You can quickly recognize that Parker & Sons appreciates their staff and rewards outstanding performance on a regular basis. I feel secure and optimistic in my choice to work for Parker & Sons and I am excited for the opportunities that await me. Overall I strongly recommend Parker & Sons as a place to consider employment They offer a variety positions in sales, tech or management positions that offer stability and opportunity.
