Pros

Great product -- much better to finish a basement with than drywall Company name recognition They give you leads

Cons

The product is good, it is also very expensive and difficult to sell to most people Straight commission, very tough to earn a buck here The leads are very unqualified. Most of the time the people are home (which is good), but they are unprepared to buy or spend as much as we're charging. Telemarketing people set the appointments and are paid on appointments set, not on sales. (Left out to die). Ownership and management accepts NO feedback from salespeople at all.

Pros

Great place to work, great training, lots of optional overtime, a unique process that involves many types of equipment to learn about, big growth opportunities and a very promising future for this specific location

Cons

Very outdated equipment, can be more reactive focused than preventive/predictive, there's not enough management or work force to efficiently operate the whole facility at its best
