If you like working with your hands and working independently 90% of the time, this might be the job for you. However, I would recommend doing that job for another company- one with better management and ownership. To exceed at this company you need to be comfortable with extorting customers constantly and being away from home 12+ hours a day. Because it's a franchise, the owner puts the burden of their overhead costs onto their employees, so you get paid considerably less for your time than at a smaller business. You get a company truck, but that far from makes up for the biggest issue with this company- it's culture. If you don't drink the Kool-Aid and bleed green for Precision you'll never be part of the "inner circle" of technicians that get the most lucrative territories. In my time there I easily saw over 20 guys signing up, only to quit out of frustration months or even weeks later. Even top earners in the inner circle had to leave because they were being undervalued. Some of the other techs and installers are some great people, but eventually everyone will leave. Benefits and perks have been on a slow slide downward over the years with employees getting less and less. Time off takes forever to earn and on holidays if you're lucky you'll get to work a half day. And if you have a problem with your paycheck and ask about it management will send you off with a simple "don't worry about it". If you see this company, know that almost any other garage door company will have you feeling less guilt and less stress.

I was hired on the basis of 50-70k a year, told the hours were 7-4, that id be paid 17% of my commissions , that we had paid time.off and would get benefits after 90 days. The only paid time off we had were major holidays, after 90 days the benefits were nowhere insight, the 17% was actually 15% and i never broke anywhere close to 50k... more like 15-20k a year. The company truck, was a pick up at the office and drop off at the office truck.  On my first day i showed up at 6:45am, no one rolled up to the office until 7:30... and managment continue to show up.later and later. Little did i know but precission garage door, is a franchise and the local franchise owner in fredericksburg virgina  lives out of state but tries to micro.manage the firm from afar. 

I loved the work, but working 90 hours a pay period for a $500-$800 pay check per 2 weeks wasnt cutting it.

If you sold a job but didnt do the work or finish the work somone else got paid for your sale, if you messed up an order you were paying full price on that door or part out of your pay check.... if a customer refused the work, you didnt get paid and the 2 hours you spent driving from spotsylvania to loudpn county werent paid
The only good paycheck i got was when i worked 70 hours my first week. 

Also be prepaired to work on 16 foot doors by your self. Dont trust managment to equip you,  i got 3 weeks of "training" tossed into a truck and then held accountable for the half assed, stocked truck that i spent 3-5 hours driving and not getting paid.

From my experience, this company struggles with leadership, employee retention, and workplace culture. There appeared to be favoritism/nepotism in certain areas, which made advancement and fair treatment feel inconsistent depending on relationships rather than performance alone.

Job allocation and opportunity distribution did not always seem equitable. At times, it felt like employees with stronger personal relationships with leadership had access to substantially more opportunities, creating frustration and the perception that connections mattered more than merit.

Employee wellbeing did not seem to be a real priority. When workers were injured or dealing with work-related issues, support felt limited, and employees could easily feel replaceable instead of valued. There was little confidence that the company was invested in retaining experienced employees long term, despite the importance of knowledgeable people in this industry.

The culture felt highly numbers-driven, with heavy emphasis on sales and production metrics while employee morale, development, and work-life balance often took a back seat. Communication from leadership was often inconsistent, and there seemed to be a disconnect between upper management decisions and the day-to-day realities employees faced in the field.

This company has potential, but in my opinion it would benefit from more transparent leadership, stronger employee support systems, fairer opportunity distribution, and a greater focus on retaining experienced talent instead of high turnover

The type of company that encourages its employees to oversell parts to customers. They send out an experienced technician (on commission) to talk a great game and sell everything they have on the truck. Then, a new guy (on hourly) shows up later to complete the work while the customer complains about the high price and extra parts. The hourly guys have a high turnover rate. Plus, do a subpar job most of the time, and customers call back wanting free warranty work and are upset.

Precision is dishonest to the employees by telling them "they promote from within" when you can check hiring apps at any time to find a sales position for hire to make 70K-80K. That is the best position there to earn money, but you will never earn that! Precision is always thinking of new ways to skim money from the employees (paycuts), all while raising the price on the customer and offering less.

They tell the hourly guys to work hard to earn that sales position, but sadly, they'll never make it there unless you know management personally. They have promoted outside friends they got jobs there for Supervisors and management positions that don't have the know-how to do their jobs effectively. 
Precision is the worst company I've ever worked for. They are famous for saying one thing and doing the other.  The grass is greener on the other side in this case. I'm so thankful not to work there anymore. Stay away, save yourself the trouble!!

This place was good to work at, good pay and good people to work with. But there seemed to be a very large disconnect between uper-management and anyone bellow them. The hours labeled as scheduled are definitely not true and must be flexible, some days I would show up at 7am and leave at noon, while other days I wouldn't get home till 930 at night.

You will always be talked to become a technician, and if you do not become a technician just be prepared to always be overlooked in daily congrats messages and the company thank yous as they are all completely focused on their techs. Unless you get a good review on Google with your name that is. 

There will also be better treatment of some employees compared to others for reasons unknown. 

Holiday pay is only $100 taxed. So you will be getting around 60 on all actuality. And yearly review does not happen on time and you may be forced to wait over 2 years for your first years review.

The people I worked with were fun to be around and we genuinely had good times together. They're will to take the time to teach you and will make sure your ready before you go out. 

That being said, it WAS a good company to work for but once higher management got involved things started turning. Hopefully they can turn this around and don't remove this review as this is my true take on working for the company.

At Precision Door Systems my typical day started with overlooking the work schedule for the day. My co-workers and myself would see what garage doors needed to be installed and where we needed to travel to do so. We would then schedule out our day so that we could accomplish what we needed to do in the most efficient way. This meant deciding the optimal routes so that we could get the most done in the shortest amount of time. From this point we would install/service the garage doors while maintaining/starting strong relationships with current and prospective clients. At this company I learned how to schedule my work day, how to maintain great customer relations with clients, and how to be accountable for what I did on a daily basis. The hardest part of the job consisted of putting in extensively long work days during the busy seasons of the year. At these times, my co-workers and myself would start at dawn and not finish until well into the night, with the mentality that we are finished when the work schedule is finished. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with my co-workers. I'm a very friendly person who enjoys working with others. At Precision Door Systems, we had a family like relationship where we would talk about everyday topics while getting our work done.

Worked here less than a year I feel the managers are crazy and want you to be the absolute best which is nice if they did it in a non toxic and non childish manner. You will work 12-16 hours no breaks you will go to the bathroom in a bottle in your truck 100%. The hardest part of the job are the managers. Extremely high turnover you will be bullied by the managers and told constantly you arent good enough in some way, you will say things they literally say to customers all day and get yelled at for saying the exact same thing. The place is run by a bunch of hypocrites. You will do hour long meetings each day where they will have you do roleplays which i loved at first but if yours aren't what they want even if their the same as others the managers will constantly says yours suck and you suck at them literally and they will confuse you with expectations on how to even get better. The place to sum it up is the worst most hostile work environment run by horrible individuals who expect you to do whatever they want cause it pays ok which is straight commission, all the rest bogs you down with working crazy hours and being treated extremely poorly. I really tried working here and gave up everything I could to make it work. I hope this helps someone who thinks this is a good place to reconsider

I enjoyed working with everyone. It's very fast paced with high call volume. My job was changed weekly and one time it was changed twice in one week. I didn't get much training but was trying my best to do everything that was delegated to the best of my ability. I asked for help when needed, and took notes when being trained to do anything. The hardest part of this job for me was being first to answer the phones along with my other duties I had to complete in a certain time frame. There were a lot of times I'd have to stop what I was doing to answer the phone and help customers. There were times as soon as I got off a call another would be coming in and I would take the second and third call as well. While I was taking calls my other duties included, accounts payable and receivable, following up with previous days customers for three locations, contacting technicians to complete work orders, correcting discrepancies in customer accounts, printing previous day commercial estimates for review and sending them to the customer, and lead management. They have high office turnover.The most enjoyable part of this job for myself was the customer interaction.

No one grows up wanting to do garage doors for a living…right? 
I had tons of office experience when I interviewed, and I was looking for a job to start as a “return to work” deal after I gave birth to my oldest son. My interview went very well, it took a bit to start as they have a very thorough hiring process (which was not a hassle at all!!) I was more eager/excited to start than anything. The first two years I was by myself in the office, and as business grew, so did our team! When I found out I was pregnant with my second/youngest, they threw me a Surprise baby shower and had all of the team involved! I almost cried! The maternity leave was a smooth process when leaving and returning. We celebrate every chance we get! My coworkers are all fantastic. 
The owners believed in me and I was eventually promoted and offered the job position of Accounts Receivable over 4 locations, which I am SO happy about! I love my career even more than I did when I started, and even when I think I can’t love it more, the next new day proves me wrong.
You won’t regret working for Precision. This company is way more than just a job. It’s a career no matter your title!!!

Definitely a sales position. Fixing the door is the least important goal. The goal is to make the bill as high as humanly possible, most times selling parts the customer does NOT NEED! Favoritism is ever present, as the only way to get management to like you is by having the highest sales numbers/Weekly average of sales. However, this is ALSO extremely beneficial to you, as your paycheck is dependent on how much you sell. Honestly, the pay structure is absolutely amazing once you learn sales skills/how to sell people things the DO NOT NEED! It is EXTREMELY fast placed and motivating. All in all, if you ARE NOT a hustler/eager "go getter", you will not succeed and your paychecks will be small. In conclusion, a great place to work with literally no limit as to how much you can make! I worked there almost 3 years and the first year I made 68k, the second year I made about the same, and the 3rd year I made $78,000!!!!!motivated/
