Pros

Can earn over 100,000 if you are good at sales

Cons

I will get into the actual schedule, work, and pay of this position, but I did not want to bury the lede. Exactly as the title implies my boss (basically the owner), said the N word talking about black people multiple times. He even saw how uncomfortable it made me and still said it (hard R), I couldnt believe it. He also would pretty consistently, like every week, say something like “people think I’m racist because I do this, but I’m not. Here is the real reason I do this…”. In my experience, people who aren’t racist don’t have to go around saying they aren’t racist all the time. But that’s just my experience. Along with the racial talk, boss, just said some extremely strange things that have no place at work. He tried to start politics talk regularly, complained about younger generations, made a vulgar joke about my then fiancee, now wife, and I’s sex life, and consistently stereotyped different demographics of people. He also just wasted so much time talking for HOURS about random things. I remember one day he probably spent 15 minutes showing me tik toks of women bouncing around in bikinis, or 30 minutes showing pictures and videos of his family vacations. Schedule I went through the interview process for this position twice, because I accepted the job once, and then decided to take another position and then came back and re-interviewed and re-accepted the position again, and I wish that Everdry had just been forthright for what the schedule/work life balance was. I truly thought that Everdry would be a great fit for me because they advertised it as running a couple of preset appointments per day, and you would know when your appointments were scheduled for. This could not have been further from the truth. Many days working at Everdry, I was working (either driving to and from appointments or sitting appointments) from 9am to 9pm. Some days even started earlier and went later depending on how far away the appointment was. Specifically, once I did not get home until 11pm. This would be completely fine IF the position was advertised this way, it was not. It was advertised as 27 hours a week. I would knock that out in 2 and a half days during my time there. The owner would say this is because it was a busy season, but Everdry needs to be forthright during the interview process. Even on days when I was not scheduled open to close, I might as well have been because you are on-call like a doctor all day. So even if you are not scheduled for an appointment until the afternoon you still have to be ready at the drop of a hat to run one, so I can not stress enough how far the schedule was compared to the work life balance that was sold to me during the interview process. It is extremely hard to have any sort of a family life while working this job. That was my experience, and the experience I gathered based on what I know about a couple of the other employees: one guy was very upfront with me that it is hard to date and work this job with its schedule, another is married with a kid and said something along the lines of “I just want to tuck my son into bed one night a week”. Even my boss, said when he was a salesperson he was working so many hours he and his wife had to go to counseling because it was causing problems, which there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, counseling is great if its needed, but it speaks to the type of schedule and how hard it is to live a family life while working as a salesperson at Everdry. Work If you like crawling around in the most disgusting crawl spaces in Indiana, this is going to be a great fit for you! You will meet tons of spiders and insects, and see a ton of mold up close and personal. For real though, just awful. One day, on a beautiful Saturday afternoon after driving an hour plus to an appointment to crawl around in one house that had two ENORMOUS crawl spaces absolutely filled with water, I was texting with my buddies who were enjoying their days and I just could not believe how I got myself into this job. To think, I thought this would be a good fit for me! Considering I could go on zip recruiter or Indeed right this second and find 1000 sales jobs where I can work from home and make over $100,000, I can not imagine wanting to drive around 4 hours a day some days (not reimbursed for gas) only to crawl around in filthy, damp, areas. There are so many better sales opportunities for someone who wants to make good money doing sales. This is also not a very sales friendly environment. In most sales jobs, if you put in work with a lead and they buy the product, you will get the commission. Not with this job. You can put in 5 hours after drive time working with someone and if they call back in a couple days, the boss will take that commission with a 20 minute phone call. Speaking from experience. Pay The pay is fine, it's pretty standard with sales. I was on pace to make about 90k and I was only there for a month. The top rep makes about 250k, maybe more. I would say it is the same as every other sales job when it comes to pay. The pay will take a while to ramp up because installs are like 3 months out and that’s when you make half the commission. You aren’t reimbursed for gas, which in this economy means you are spending $100 every two or three days. Also like I said earlier, you can put in time with someone and then either the GM or another rep will just get that sale handed to them if you don’t close them on your appointment and they call back anytime after 8am the next day. And considering the waterproofing sold is 20k plus, it is very likely that the person you are talking to will want to sleep on the decision. But even that being said, it's pretty easy to make $100,000 working at Everdry if you are good at sales, but it's like that at most sales job you can find on zip recruiter or indeed. Overall All in all, if you crave a boss who says really weird things, a horrible schedule, and wet and moldy crawl spaces, Everdry is going to be a good fit for you! It just wasn’t for me unfortunately.

Pros

It's a great workout.. I guess.

Cons

This Company is a literal joke. They management terrible, managers will slam doors in your face and hang the phone up on you, and are just very rude in general. Most every employee there is on probation or house arrest (not exactly the best group of people to work with). When driving to job sites in their company dump trucks, managers and employees smoke marijuana the whole way to and from sites and even at customer's homes, but wait! It gets even better! They pay is absolutely awful, and they essentially lie to you about the wages. They say you'll get anywhere from $450-$600 a week. Not at all true just staring out. I worked a little over 40 hours last week and brought home $305, which means after taxes I made $7.62 an hour when you consider the type of work that you do here that's basically slavery. They say you you can get $100 bonuses every week but that's far and in between as it's very unlikely you'll finish the job in the allotted time. Now for the actual work itself. You dig trenches around houses typically 1-2ft deep, dug by a shovel. Then you digest another hole 5ft deep and about 3ft in diameter, when that's done you then fill up buckets with gravel (again by hand) carry them over to the holes you've dug and begin filling them, then backfill with dirt and the remaining dirt get put in the dump truck. After all of that you go down to the customers basement and repeat the process only this time using a jackhammer to break up the concrete floor then digging more holes ranging from 12 to 18 inches in depth with a shovel. A typical work day is about 10 hours included drive time. I would not reccomend this job to anyone unless you absolutely cannot get a job anywhere else or if you're in between jobs and need a "filler" until something better comes along. They offer you $90 a day before tax as a flat rate so they can get away with not paying you for overtime. From what I'm told customers pay anywhere from 30-50 THOUSAND DOLLARS for their services while the company pays you minimum wage at best. They are making a huge profit while you are struggling to get by. That my friends is the definition of greed. This company also tells you that advancement within the company is very attainable, with my former foreman only being employed there for about 4 months and their human resources manager being there for roughly the same amount of time. I would assume that is only because their turnover rate is so high, and rightfully so, the work is hard, the wages are not livable, comparable positions through similar companies pay 2-3 times as much for the same work. They offer a company uniform, however you won't receive it until two weeks of employment and they make you pay for it. Until then you have to wear your own clothes and completely ruin them by crawling around in muddy crawl spaces, throwing dirt, gravel ect.. This is easily the worst company I have ever worked for hands down. Do not waste your time and energy on this place, unless you want to get paid to workout because that's about all this place is good for, you'll be sweating bullets and breaking your back for hours at a time 5-6 days a week for less money than a part time job at a fast food restaurant. You're honestly much better off picking up a job at McDonald's or something. They are liars, they are greedy, they have poor management with anger issues and your fellow employees are likely criminals. That's not to say everyone there is an awful person, but it's not exactly the best environment. I could go on forever about the distaste I have for this company.

Pros

I don't have anything positive to say about my experience working for EverDry.

Cons

Our department was treated like a joke which turned into the department treating the department like it was a joke. Incredibly racist and powertripping managers made this job incredibly unpleasant.
