Pros

Self generated leads, benefits offered, team outings, great installers, great team, realistic earnings 70k-140k

Cons

30,000 miles a year on personal vehicle, no reimbursement, previous review stated bonus for appointment setters, so the leads you get may not be good leads find other things to help them with, no ridealong or coaching in the last 3 to 4 months with my manager, it was said by upper leadership that we have the right to terminate on the spot as you have the right to quit in the spot, they want you to be open with issues or ideas, but never seems to do much except pick out the ones that arent bought in. Team members that are looking for leadership positions will always be management side of things even though they do not agree, which I get.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we take this feedback seriously and wanted to address some of the comments you wrote. As part of our offer process with our outside Sales reps, they are responsible for using their own vehicle to travel to and from the appointments but we offer a higher base salary with a robust commission plan to offset that. We are extremely transparent during this process so that as offers are accepted, each individual knows what they are responsible for and what the company is responsible for. Each year, we take a look at our compensation plans for all employees to make sure that we are offering roles/salaries above or at market value and we are currently doing so for the outside sales team. While doing this, we have engaged all the sales employees to discuss what they are happy with, what suggestions they have for changing and/or adjusting the plan. It is important to do this with larger groups vs. making decisions like this in a silo so I apologize that you don't feel like your opinions were heard as that is not our intention. We strongly encourage all employees to discuss their frustrations, comments, or feedback with their managers but we also encourage them to make sure they are doing it effectively while offering suggestions. We want all employees to have a relationship with their manager that they feel comfortable discussing both the positive and areas for opportunity with them. Part of each manager’s responsibility is to do ride-alongs with their teams, however, as teams grow and new employees are being trained along with other reps having ridealongs, we would be lying to say that not everyone gets the same attention as we encourage our managers to be strategic on how and who they spend their time with so they can coach and develop their team to the desired level. Again, I want to thank you for your feedback and taking the time to write this review.

Pros

I’ve been with Thrasher for two years, and this company genuinely takes care of its team. This week is a perfect example. My wife is 9 months pregnant and we are planning a home delivery, so she could go into labor at any time. Normally my sales appointments can take me over an hour from home. But this week, the team adjusted my schedule so I would stay closer to home, and they even gave me the ability to help decide how my calendar was filled. That level of trust and support means a lot, especially in a sales role. It shows that the company values people, not just numbers. Leadership is responsive, understanding, and willing to step in when life happens.

Cons

The biggest challenge is drive time. It is not unusual to have an 8 AM appointment 90 minutes from home, then drive another 90 minutes to a second appointment that is also far from home. That can add up to around 4 to 5 hours of driving in a single day, and it can happen at least once a week, sometimes more.

Pros

Work hours are good with weekends off.

Cons

You are out a lot of money up front. You would need at least three months saved up before you start. Also it's hard to track your commissions. When you leave you will not get paid on anything that you sold if it installs after you leave. That's right they keep your money!!! Only a few people are making the money they talk about.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you valued the consistent schedule and weekends off. We want to clarify that our compensation structure is designed to reward performance, and we continuously work to improve how clearly commissions, timelines, and expectations are communicated from day one. We recognize that the ramp-up period can feel challenging, and we’re focused on strengthening support and transparency throughout that process. We also take concerns about team support seriously and are actively working to ensure every employee feels guided and set up for success. We appreciate your input and wish you the best moving forward.
