Pros
>Known brand > Co-workers extremely helpful >Health benefits
Cons
> Paying for health benefits but can’t even use it because I cant take any time off as a new hire until 120 days later. >Very low base pay. >High internal competition in a market that is already so highly saturated. Then if it’s not your own taking sales from you, there are solution providers (contractors). You can be working the sale but someone can just pull it from you. There is apparently no process in place to hold them accountable. > Daily meeting twice a day to make commitments and to see if you succeeded, and you have to commit to making sales each day. >If you don’t make enough sales for the week, plan on working the weekends. >weekly deliverables of the same redundant information. i.e. what are your monthly goals, how are you going to get there in a month, etc. > A $300 cap on mileage when I drive well over that amount trying to prospect. > After busting your tail to make a sale, you then have to climb a million walls to get it approved without back end support canceling it over the most minor things. Even after everything is a go, technician can just not show up on a job resulting in customers getting upset and canceling after all. > Door knocking on avg of about 30 doors EVERYDAY and maybe 1 customer will not have comcast and even then its because they absolutely hate it. Opportunities come far and few in between. >During training, one of the executives speaking told us that this is a hard job but if we don’t do it, they can just find somebody else who will.....keep rotating that door if you will. >I realize I am just not desperate enough for this job. Fully capable but just not desperate enough. Working 12 hour day to come home to work more to catch up on admin work, I have no time for my children or myself. THIS CAN’T BE LIFE.
