Re: Athen

It's a crap-shoot with Athena Commercial & Residential Solutions.  It's all going to depend on the shop manager and if he fights for the techs or not.  Fight or not ... be prepared for micro-management up the wazzu via thier field tracking software and paperwork software.

If they are approaching you to be an Operations Manager and "own your own contract" .... IMHO ... Run away fast.  You will never see the profit percentages they are throwing at you.  With all the "corporate" costs and "back office" support, your store never sees a profit to be shared with in the beginning.  40-50% profit share is nice, but useless if they are stealing it off the top and front end before if ever gets to you.  With Mr. Esty, it's impossible to "..own your own contract" when he's telling you how to run your shop.  He's the king of micro-micro-management.  All he wants is "Yes sir, missta boss-man" type guys working for him.  When the shit hits the fan, you just know who's gonna end up holding the bag for him.

For those keeping track of Athena ... Seems Michael Esty has moved out of Houston TX and into Colorado for some reason.  No new corporate address, no new update on his website of the new offices address .. Give me time and I'll track his ass down.
