The most deceptive and predatory practices that I've ever seen in sales are practiced here. Everything that the sales reps tell the homeowners, from the product features and specs, to the timeframes, installers, warranties, finance "approvals," etc etc etc - all of it is one big fat LIE. You are taught to do whatever it takes to get contracts signed during the first appointment, including bold-faced deception. I've NEVER seen an entire organization so comfortable with committing fraud on a daily basis. If you go the first week of "training" without spotting any of the red flags, you might get wind of how this is going to fare you when they kick things off by taking YOUR money. That's right. They make you buy your own iPad, ladder, flashlight, etc, AND a $500 "Sales Equipment Deposit" is deducted from your paycheck for product demos that you probably won't even get! What a joke. You also use your own personal vehicle and drive countless miles to and from appointments. You can receive gas compensation by filing if you are smart enough to read the employee handbook, but they are not up front about this and might even tell you that you can't. It may differ by location, however the management team that I worked for was merely an insecure bunch of cowards that had no issue with abusing people. Basically they treated their team exactly how they treated their homeowners, if not, worse. They would pick favorites to praise, while dismissing and even belittling others. Because the management organizes leads, certain employees would frequently be sent to appointments that were obvious duds, while more sure fire leads were reserved for THEMSELVES in order to inflate their numbers. A few new hires along with myself all noticed this being practiced. Again. JOKE. Working for this company is a lose-lose, and really the word "lose" doesn't quite capture the magnitude I'm looking for. If you are unwilling to become a spineless coward and lie to people's faces for hours on end, multiple times a day, 6 days a week, you will be earning NEGATIVE dollars, be shamed by management for not closing deals, and eventually, be "silently fired." They will make sure you quit by subtly convincing you that you are just bad at sales - even though you're probably not, THEY just suck. If you ARE willing to be brainwashed and assume the role in order to receive money and praise, you will abandon every ounce of your character in the process and become wicked. Or, maybe you already are an evil person. In that case, congratulations, you've hit the jackpot. Anybody that has worked for this company long-term and is revered as a "top sales performer" is a degenerate scoundrel with no shame or integrity. They have lied through their teeth to hundreds, if not thousands of homeowners for years on end to get where they are, and are gearing up to do it again today. DaBella is a nightmare. Plain and simple. I have absolutely no idea how this company is still in business. I am sure the jig will be up once they poke the wrong bear (homeowner) and end up on the wrong side of a mass consumer lawsuit. Do yourself a favor and find a better sales job. Just about anything will do!
