For the right person, it can be somewhat financially rewarding, too. I made 72k at DTV my last year there...that's a damn good wage for Iowa...and as I've shared, I've made a few significant connections, too. On top of that, I got insurance for close to nothing, free tv and Sunday ticket, drove a company van and get a paid cell phone.
The negatives are there, too...we work in damn near anything...I have to occasionally go where nobody wants to (though if one has the right tools and intellect, it's often possible to avoid those situations) working 6 day work weeks, you have to take unwarranted abuse at times and its a profession that tend to burn people out.
I work for this retailer because I can set my own schedule and basically work only when I want to and how much I want to. If I want a week off, I take it...if I only want to work till 230 everyday, I can. If I want to work till 7 or 8 every day and make 3k in a week, I can.
I know some Vietnamese guys that make well over 100k a year just as installers.
