Installer/Service Tech. Good money if you give up family/personal life. Not worth the headaches/stress.
Not very well managed, lots of people in and out either because of how miserable they are with the job atmosphere or because management is constantly letting people go. Don’t care about your personal life outside of the job, working at time 12+ hour days and even longer if you actually stop to break.
