Pros

The business sector and business model, which have changed over the years, remain a solid opportunity. Some acquisitions have been brilliant. The potential of the company has always been extraordinary.

Cons

The company is too slow to react and then prone to unrealistic and panicked fire drills. They lay off with little thought to the long term. There is an entrenched group of founders and cronies at the top with mediocre skills, who are mostly in it for the regular doses of stock sales even though this has trashed the stock price. They treat the company like a sinecure instead of caring about the employees, the stockholders and the customers.

Pros

The company can offer strong earning potential and a large enough operation to create real opportunities for sales reps who are in the right segment with the right support at the right time. There are talented people across the organization and certain teams can be collaborative and knowledgeable. The business also has legitimate demand in the home services space, and there is value in the products when the fit is right. For someone who performs well in a fast paced, metric driven environment, there is room to make good money and gain solid experience.

Cons

The culture can feel highly numbers driven in a way that sometimes prioritizes activity volume over strategic selling and long term fit. Management quality varies significantly, and communication around expectations, compensation, and deal flexibility can be inconsistent. In some cases, sales reps may feel pressured to push opportunities that are not ideal fits, which can create frustration and hurt long term client success. There also seems to be limited alignment between leadership, sales, and support teams at times, which can make it harder to execute effectively and build confidence in the process.
