I’ve been there for some time now, finally I’ve decided to hand over my 2 weeks resignation. The workplace alone is terrible. Too many managers compensating to overshadow the next. 
The entire outlook depends on techs selling warranties to clean and maintain, yet somewhat overshadowing the completion of service. 
Techs are Hurt, working on pain killers or taking more time off just to recover. 
The entire process of routes is turning away good techs. You can’t expect a tech to run a 10-13 stop day consecutively and expect selling at the same time. 
Your family life is gone. You start at 7:25 only to make it home luckily by 7:30 or 8pm. You literally miss your kids growing up because the amount of work that’s forced upon the technician. 
We have a manager that’s secretary to a manager that calls it over managers, what productive sense does that make? 
The LMT’s are arms of management and they don’t really care about anyone, so what’s the use of going to any of them if in need? 
They all talk down to you, make you feel inferior if there’s an issue… it’s just a sad place. 
We loose techs quicker than hired. Every month, there’s a new tech quitting because what they told him during the interview process is totally different when hired. And some are complaining because they haven’t received the hiring bonus that was promised. 
If you choose this route for employment, please listen carefully and ask around… I’m sure you will leave as soon you’re hired also. 

The amount of work performed takes over family life. Managers that interview doesn’t inform prospects that this isn’t a regular 8hr job, you’re done when all stops are finished. 
You can have anywhere between 9-13 stops a day and depending on the job, you could be stuck at a stop between 1-3hrs and still have 6 stops to do along with a lunch to take.
The platform in the door is selling. You sell for a little percentage but most goes to Managers monthly bonuses. That’s why they pressure us to sell everyday to everyone, no matter how much money they have, sell! 
Very High Turnover rate. 
I’ve quit due to the unnecessary stress and it seems like that’s a trend there, stress out the techs so they can quit. The Managers are out in full force in the streets trying to recruit, but they themselves gave the company a bad rep. 
It’s like working in a blame game that’s designed to fail, and managers won’t help you…. You just fail. 
Every week, techs are quitting. They struggle to get techs including trying to recruit but experienced techs know how the management works there, and refuse to deal with it. 
I’ve moved on with less stress and not being out till 8p

The typical day was spent driving to customer's homes to diagnose and repair household appliances. You log into an app on the company Iphone and go from there. The app updates/crashes often and there's poor internet reception. Few technical company people to call and ask for help or technical information. Company provided truck and tools are inadequate. Constant company calls and company texts. You are expected to offer and enroll Home Warranty plans and other preventive maintenance on every call. Plenty of verbal abuse, accusations and misunderstandings from select management and co-workers. Lots of intolerable working conditions from pest infestations, unsanitary appliances, jumpy dogs and infuriated customers. Beginning of the day and end of the day driving is 15-25% of your time on the job and is unpaid. Lots of wrong parts and truck inventory problems. I learned a lot about household appliances and the appliance repair business model. 

This place will drain all the happiness from your life. You will be expected to sell their warranty plans and credit cards to customers. If you don't you will be punished with Sales Improvement Plans and write-ups. You are forced to take a lunch even though you are working through it or driving to your next call. 
They expect you to order parts from Amazon and install those cheap junk parts. Then when they fail, well that's your fault too. 
This place will teach you how NOT to run a successful appliance repair business on your own. 
They nickle and dime your pay so they don't have to pay what you deserve. IE... no pay driving to first and from last jobs of the day. 
Everyday seems like a microscope is on you and if you're not running fast enough you will hear about it from the bean counters that run the place. 
Like I said, you have been warned. If you decide to join this crew be prepared for your stress level and blood pressure to go up. 
They won't even work with your disability. I was told they have profits to make and they can't work with my disability. Good luck!

N A performance review, or a yearly appraisal sample supported by clear appraisal examples, is a controlled assessment of employees conducted by managers. When they’re done right, performance review sessions can be highly effective in boosting your employees’ morale and offering them the guidance they need.

However, if done wrong, a performance review could actively damage morale and cause them further anxiety. For this reason, correctly doing a performance review is vital for managers. 

As a productive business manager, you need to perform the best performance reviews. Doing so will let you identify and correct your employee’s problems as early as possible, along with improving their morale. The following performance review examples will help you with that. 

Annual employee reviews, often guided by a yearly appraisal sample, used to be common, but quarterly and even monthly performance reviews are becoming more frequent.

This was the worst job I ever had. The protection agreements they sell don’t even benefit the customers. People had fires leaks and anything else you can think of and they still refused to offer a replacement. All they care about is selling whatever they can to keep the business afloat. They give you responsibilities but give you the run around when you ask for compensation for doing a managers work when your still considered a call rep. The pay was not livable you have to work 10–12 hour shifts PER DAY just to be able to pay rent. I hated this job so much only good thing was the coworkers and they felt the same. Everybody was tryna get out. On top of that there was constant threat of losing our jobs because it was cheaper for the already failing company to outsource from different countries. DO NOT waste your time. 

First off.. your literally harassing customers. I cant tell you how many calls I took and had customers yelling at me telling me this is the 4th or 5th time they've been called that same day. Your trying to sell over-priced warranties for their appliances. You get paid pennies out of the commission. For example.. you could make 38,000 in sales and only take 300.00 out of that if your lucky. NOT JOKING. They expect you to make at least 8 sales a day or your overall rating metrics goes down and you'll get coaching. Your working sun up to sun down. All they care about is you making the sells for the company. They don't care whats going on in your personal life or if you need time off.  They make all these promises and make the job sound good just to get you in. Not to mention your taking at least 160 calls a day. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Higher management has a very bad habit of "throwing you under the bus" when it comes to goals and metrics not being met. Some situations are entirely beyond an employees control and there is zero support or understanding of this. They expect unrealistic results that are impossible to meet, especially in more rural areas with limited opportunities. Demanding that an employee sign up 20+ credit card applications per day in a store where you have only 15-20 people shopping in a day is ridiculous. Hours get reduced as punishment for not making goals, no matter the reason, even if it is entirely unavoidable due to weather or other out-of-control situations. 

The best part of my experience with this company was the team I worked with and the manager I worked under.  It was a true team with an awesome leader who was interested in not just getting the job done but your personal growth. Over the last few years C-suite level management has shifted to frequently, making it difficult to maintain the larger company goals. Different leaders means a shift in the focus and/or approach, causing many larger team goals to be abandoned despite the need for them.  The shifting causes high levels of stress and a sense of chaos.  Increased hours (I worked 60-80 hours a week), increased stress, and feelings that while your direct boss/team found you valuable the people above them could care less about what you did each day or who you were. 

They use a point system to track lateness. If you clock in more than 2 minutes past your call time you accrue half a point. Gain enough points and they let you go - no ifs ands or buts. This doesn't reward good work habits on the clock and only serves to punish employees and therefore I think it's a toxic system. If you can't consistently show up 5 minutes early (potentially challenging as they're located on the edge of town), I can't recommend this as a job. They'll kick you to the curb regardless of the quality of your work because you're simply another employee to them.
