Pros
Compensation Potential. Bonuses, referrals, gas card company vehicles. Elite programs/Ski vacations/cruises COE. Open communication. Partnerships w/ Ambit, Comcast, and Costco, Amazon, Digital Channels, etc. make easy money. Referrals are easy if you are curious enough to learn how to make an impact. Promotions and Growth. Benefits. Per diem meals. Always something to do. Every hour is an adventure!
Cons
60hr plus work week, well, not really a Con if you are making money and love what your doing. But money is not everything. Many employees don’t know their full potential. Hypocrisy with the values is the biggest Con. (Pulse)This makes meetings loose value and work very difficult. Many in upper management were retained from REC days and they are archaic. Qualifications were not scrutinized the way they are today. They have not evolved with modern skill sets to drive the business forward. Digital marketing departments are a year behind and efficient logistical implementation of PV delivery through entire chain is way behind other modern successful models. Lack of strategic oversight at the VP level has led to a culture of compartmentalization at Director and Branch levels, resulting in high cancellations before PTO and counter effective intra-organizational communication. Many in my circle share similar notions.
