Pros
Get your own van, tools, work alone. If you're a really good installer, you can finish a job early and go home.
Cons
Commission only. So if the job doesn't go in, you're not getting paid. Whether the job takes 4 hours or 12 hours, you get paid the same. In gerenal, long hours and low pay. Turnover rate of installers and other staff is extremely high. Poor training. Installers are put out on their own even if they are not properly trained. Seen far too many major screw ups on jobs by installers that didn't know what they were doing. The result is a job that supposed to take 1 day and ends up taking weeks or months to resolve. A lot of unhappy, pissed off customers. Treatment of employees by management is very poor as well.
