Pros

All of the salesman complain to each other so it builds great team bonding for the 4 hours you see them a week

Cons

- Extremely poor leadership - Even worse middle management. They will ridicule your sales but every appointment they go on they never sell anything so it’s extremely hypocritical - You’ll get put on a PIP in 60 days if you’re not meeting their “high standards” even though their training is 2 weeks long and all it is, is making you memorize word for word the script they want you to say - If you don’t go word for word on the script you’ll get written up - Install crew messes up most jobs leaving you to handle the situation - You’re in your car all day. $10,000 mileage reimbursement which you’ll hit in 5 months. The 7 months left your our of pocket on your own gas - Buy your own tools - Thrasher is priced 50% higher than all competition. Get ready to have most of your jobs get cancelled after a day or two because they got another quote. - in the time span I was there which wasn’t very long there was a list of people fired and a decent amount of people who quit. The turnover here is crazy

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.
