I worked there for 9 years. Every day was a scam. The most unorganized and weirdest company ever, no benefits, no direct deposit because they never had any money and needed to float their checks. Unreal

They do not have direct deposit no benefits. The company does not have that many sites. The company cars are very dirty in the inside. One site the car I drove in had bedbugs and the company talk to their employees very disrespectful. Out of all the companies I worked for I would advise people not to work here.
