Every day you had to be prepared to either be fired, yelled at, or threatened. Do not expect to take vacations, sick days or be excused from work even if there is 2 feet of snow. Be sure to get sled dog to pull you to work."

"The owner of the company only looks out for himself. The office staff only takes care of the office staff and leaves the field staff hanging on important issues for weeks on end. Trying to get my 401k and profit sharing resolved with the H.R. person is impossible. It's been a month and a half and there still no closer now then they were the day I left. Checks were consistantly short every pay period. They wanted to blame field staff for that but when it came out it was 99% of the time the office staff who messed up the checks."

In order to get even an hour off to go to the doctor, for example, you have to request the time off in writing 21 days in advance and it might not be approved. Mileage is only paid at 25 cents per mile, so if you drive your own car you will lose money for each mile you drive for the company."
