Pros

You are paid a base salary weekly as well as weekly commissions.

Cons

Very young and immature atmosphere. This isn't an 8-5 job because management expects you to also participate in after work activities to become "friends" with management and co workers. Work starts to get complicated and dramatic as everyone spends too much time together. The majority of the management lives and breathes Technipower so the drama and non stop work talk never ends. Their business ethics are also questionable. Promotion consists of sharing your territory with a new entry level sales person so while you are training them you are not only giving up a part of your own territory but also spending time on someone who probably won't bill anything for 6 months. This is one way Technipower puts a "cap" on earnings. Base Salary is well-below market. Commission structure would be competitive (as percentage is fair), except you are confined to a small & arbitrary territory where there is limited business to be had (this is another way they "cap" your earnings). If you are motivated by commissions and other bonuses (such as real, monetary bonuses and perks) look elsewhere. Technipower's form of a "bonus" is a pizza party or bowling night.

Pros

Family environment, good people, a lot of community events. Great place to get your feet wet in sales or recruiting without a ton of pressure really as long as u show up and try. But not a good place for longevity as there isn't much of a path for growth as a company or leaders to take them to the next level.

Cons

Lack of organization leadership is hindering growth. No real plan, no real metrics to shoot for, no real structure for success. It's all about how u fit in to their religion or if you get cozy with a couple tenured members then you are golden. Otherwise you won't get training or skills for success, basically a random luck of the draw on making calls and hoping to have opportunities. You can be demoted multiple times, quit, and then be brought back at a higher level of u know certain people in the company. Or u can be highly talented, not involved in their religious aspects as a company and u probably will be pushed out the door. Upper management doesn't take feedback well unfortunately.
