This is a want ad from Craigslist in Houston; this is a local company of long standing and one of the largest around. They are constantly looking for techs because they have a huge turnover due to the pressure to sell. Consequently the quality of their work is subpar and very expensive and no they are not a franchise or part of a national chain.

Pretty sure I know who that company is.
They also play a little jingle with their ads. Call J***, pay more.

We'll teach you how to sell your soul, but you'll have some health insurance to go with it. Also we have a bonus used van lot behind the shop where you can hone you closing technics.

We've gone behind them on so many installs/service work down here. Also find it funny that they will come clear down here to the island, but they won't work in Tiki Island which is BEFORE Galveston.

Hit a nerve there, what a bunch of a$$wipes. Could it possibly be the company who promises to come out and inspect your breaker box for free because they are sooooo concerned about your safety....all for free? Those idiots couldn't engineer their way out of a wet paper bag.

Yeah but Tiki Island is so scary. All those oil lamps might catch on fire!
