Pros

*Ipad provided, phone allowance, car allowance *"model sales call" can help you in general professionally *Stable company controls the market

Cons

*Terrible leads when cold calling(100 calls expected daily) potential customers where either already customers, angry about previous service, or WRONG NUMBER. Out of 100 calls you might get 2 appointments and 1 of those was either a no show or a cancel. *Management does not care that leads are poor they just want you to call, no attempts made to improve the quality of leads *Lots of driving- 30-50 miles for one appointment was normal *Lots of cancelled appointments that were not discovered until you are sitting in front of the customers home. *Multiple software systems(3-4) to navigate prior to sales calls *50-100 cold call door knocks expected daily *After first 3 months 100% commission *Outside of the 1 week corporate training, training by manager is spotty at best. To be honest it depends on the manager. *VERY HIGH TURNOVER

Pros

shift differentials, the ability to trade shifts or flex, paid training, premium holiday pay, plenty of overtime hours, and good for employees looking to build their resume.

Cons

you might have to work mandatory overtime during hurricane season, large volume of calls, very fast paced, and you may deal with hostile or panicked callers.
