Cons
I have had a few incidents where the management has given technicians the permission to solicit and sell with in my district. When my sales are doing poor and I am doing nothing but soliciting while waiting for leads. The google advertising went down for the entire month of October... ask your self if you have an animal on your property where is the first place you look to find someone to remove it? 9/10 say google. With that being said my sales were poor due to this, on top of cutting sales areas in to 1/3 of what I was promised. Taking away my two highest lead volume areas. Due to poor sales I have been told I have 30 days to reach 55k in sales or I will be let go. Now 55k would be wonderful, but when the number 1 sales rep in the state that has an entire metropolitan area to him self only hit 59k... that number is almost unfeasible. Before this happened, there was a management change. The new manager called me at 10 am said to be at a location at 2 pm for an inspection. I advised I had another inspection at that time. (Managers are supposed to give all leads and phone calls to their sales consultants) instead he went to the inspection and sold 5k worth of services when I told him I could be there at 3pm. Management cares only about numbers not their employees. 60-70% of my district feels the same way. I was promised from the start that the company will provide approximately 40-50k worth of leads and that I was responsible for the other 10k to reach our wanted 60k. In October every lead I received was from a solicit that I produced. Also watch your pay checks another current employee advised me he was being shorted and he had to call in nearly every pay check to make sure his commissions were being counted properly.
