Pros

- Get some free nike swag if you can hit certain sales goals

Cons

- no reimbursement for travel (gas and tolls) or for your phone, even though they expect you to commute 30 minutes to an hour daily and text/call customers from your personal cell. - no real support from field sales teams. Usually I would get 1 sale a month after setting 15+ appointments, making very little money. - no where to sit, or rest your legs after standing still on concrete at the exit of a costco or home depot. - high cost of health insurance, basically $100/paycheck. take home pay was rarely more than $500/week. - if you are in competitive area for solar, it will be hard to sell. Tesla and other companies were beating some of my quotes by $20k... - Once in RSA roll it will be almost impossible to move up so its a dead end job. Brick ceiling, not even glass if you are trying to become an in home sales consultant or manager.

Pros

Pay per hour isn’t bad and you just kind of walk around the store and no one from the company will really check up on you besides whoever else is scheduled with you

Cons

Such a disorganized company. The stores you get sent too is based on your address I had put a different home address for personal reasons and explained I actually lived somewhere else said they’d made accommodations, they lied and didn’t even though they could’ve. They change their standards whenever they want I got fired because of a requirement they changed mid employment, I was making the requirements that was told to me when I first got hired but after a month they decided to change it and let me go the same day because I “wasn’t meeting that requirement” when it literally was just made up. So many pointless meetings everyday where they just repeat the same stuff everyday. The only successful people at this position are people who constantly harass customers in the store and so many people would get banned from certain stores due to complaints but the company will not punish them or anything if anything they almost encourage this behavior. Do not work for this company they’re a scam. They say they offer a “rate reduction” program to homeowners but it isn’t, they just want to get people trapped in a long contract for years that they just keep raising prices. They are not an honest company. The hours are terrible it is mandatory that you work every weekend and they make it a huge deal if you try to take it out saying you can get written up for it.
