Inconvénients
The only con.....we get paid once a month. It takes some getting used to and a little money managing skills, but you will get use to it after a while. If you don't like to drive ...don't apply. They give you a vehicle and they expect you to use it a lot. Driving is essential in this job so you have to have a good driving record. If you wreck your assigned vehicle in an at fault accident it will be a career suicide and they will take it out of your annual bonus.
