Pros

- Flexibility to work from home. - A few genuinely kind colleagues (5 max) who try to support one another.

Cons

- Rampant racism and a lack of diversity support for double minorities or minorities in general. - Disorganized management that misleads employees. - Culture of favoritism; success is dependent on butt-kissing rather than merit. - High pressure and unrealistic expectations with no acknowledgment of hard work. - Mass layoffs disguised as planned decisions, leaving employees feeling insecure. - Do not help with promotion unless everyone else is laid off or quit before, then you are promoted. You will not be promoted unless you kiss butt or a man. - Incompetent HR. RUN if you can from this company. Emphasis on RUN. Find somewhere else to work. This is not the opportunity to jump on. Everything seems sweet at first then next you are unemployed. If you like these things then this is the company for you.

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.
