Pros

The pros are very limited, if there are any at all to note. If you enjoy driving your personal vehicle into the ground or enjoy compensation for work outside your duties and responsibilities in the form of verbal praise, then this might be for you. The company is quick to incentives everyone on the point that your salary will be maintained throughout a generous winter off-period. However, the truth is that there are several things that you will be essentially voluntold to participate and help out with, including but not limited fundraising/marketing events, door knocking, etc.

Cons

Truth be told, there is way too much to share here. Your title as "project manager" is nothing more than a glorified elusion the company tries to swindle you with as they use you in extremely cunning ways. To start, you will absolutely destroy your personal vehicle within a season. Be prepared to put on a MINIMUM of 30,000-65,000 miles on your car per season. You will receive a weekly vehicle/gas stipend amount that amounts to something like $200 each week which does not even remotely cover the damages and general wear & tear you will inevitably accrue through the sheer volume of driving you will be required to do. From nonsensical training meetings to being volun-told to participate in marketing events, the duties and responsibilities outlined by the job description are not even close to what they actually are. One huge selling point particularly for the project manager role is to work hard during the summer season which is rewarded with extensive paid time off during the winter months. What they don't tell you is how much time you will be forced to spend walking door to door throughout all neighborhoods in the greater Denver metro area soliciting their service, regardless of whether or not is it an HOA that explicitly prohibits solicitation. You will inevitably be screamed off of many properties as a result of this and deal with angry home owners and they still somehow spin this off as some sort of leadership challenge that needs to be overcome. "Overcome the obstacles and rejections" as they will shove down your throat time and time again. The compensation plans for project managers are nearly impossible to maximize. The work weeks will average 70+ each week. You can expect an average take home pay of $730 per week.

Pros

Welcoming environment with leadership that practices what they preach. Friendly and motivated employees create a culture of working hard, cheering each other on. Hard work is financially rewarded! Ethical company that has a solid reputation with homeowners they serve.

Cons

Parking can be tricky especially on concert days (close to the Junkyard) but if you get there early enough there are plenty of spots. All parking is free and I feel safe. Super close access to I-25.

Pros

Vivax is literally the best place I have ever worked, by FAR. I cannot say enough good things about this place from an employee standpoint. I have never felt so supported, seen, cared for, and motivated in my life. This place is special. They care so much about each individual employee and their success at this company. They are actively trying to promote those that work hard. I am excited to go to work every day. Not only are the leaders so caring and supportive, but my co workers hit the same bar. Everyone is in it for the team and making sure everyone is taken care of. We have so much fun and it motivates me to work hard for them and their success, as well. I see myself at Vivax for life and cannot wait for the future here. Working for good people that you care about and feeling like you are making a difference makes such a difference in enjoyment at work.

Cons

The parking situation could be better and I do wish the benefits were cheaper but I am thankful to have them. I do also get burnt out because being an SDR is draining in a lot of ways, but the team and management always keeps me going.
