Should you hire apprentices instead of journeymen and master plumbers? Some contractors are finding more long-term success by building their team from the ground up. Here are four reasons why you should consider hiring apprentices with no experience and training them.

When you hire someone who has worked for another plumbing company, he knows their way of doing things, which may not be yours. If that is the case, you must break him from his bad habits before he learns the right way to do things. In short, the training period is lengthened because you must first un-train.
