Pros

At first the culture they promise seems real. They are quick to bring you into the fold. You will feel like family.

Cons

They change process and ideas all the time without communicating it down to front line managers and employees. Each Gear of the business just cares about their KPIs. Leadership team is a good old boys club that does not like to be challenged. Worst part is that they openly say if you can't get someone to figure it out in 3 months, just firing them. This business takes 6 to 8 months before you know it well. Epically+ when the training program is awful. They keep their front-line managers so busy that they cannot successful. Structure of the company is set up to fail.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It’s clear you cared deeply about the mission and your role—and that makes this feedback even more important to us. We’re sorry to hear your time at Thrasher ended with frustration. You’re right that our culture promises a lot, and we know that when communication and structure fall short, it can feel like a disconnect. We’ve been actively working to improve that gap—especially in how we equip and support frontline leaders. We’re a growing company, and while change is part of the ride, we know it only works when people feel informed, valued, and set up to succeed. If you’re open to it, we’d love to hear more about your ideas for what great could’ve looked like. Call us any time at 402-819-2466

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.
