Pros

Training is good if you know nothing about solar. Expect to be told "how much money you're going to make" every day. They are selling you the job during training.

Cons

Anytime a company is incentivized to fire employees....so they can keep and split your hard earned commission....RUN! Literally in their best interest to let you go. Very used car sales vibes. Lots of puffery and showmanship amongst management. The CEO spoke to employees in group meetings in really condescending and disrespectful ways. The script is an unethical joke, and the kicker is you get to waste all that gas, time, and effort making these jokers rich in the process.

Pros

The only positive I had working at this company was their training course. You will learn solar by the end of it.

Cons

-Unpaid commissions. Currently owed around $5000 for installed clients that they were suppose to pay me for. -Extremely high turnover. I saw 30 people come and go on the sales team within 6 months. I saw people get fired after 1 week. -Management would berate, and degrade employees in team meetings and post-appointments regularly. It was a very common occurance after an appointment to be told things like "YOU DIDN'T BUILD ENOUGH TRUST", "YOU DIDN'T DO THE THREE CIRCLES GOOD ENOUGH", or other things like that. That may have been the case, but there was very little effort spent showing a person a path to improvement. -The teamlead structure there is a joke. Teamleads are just allstar sales people that get all of the best leads. There is very little coaching that goes on from teamleads to the people on their teams. -Takeover calls if an appointment is going to no-sale makes you feel like a used car salesman. If a prospective buyer pushes back, the price per watt can be dropped as much as 35-40% in some cases. Overall, it was a terrible experience, and it has taken me some time to heal mentally from the toxicity of working at Momentum for 6 months. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

Pros

Nice guys to work with.

Cons

My opinion, this is the worst pay in solar and in America. Not my opinion, the base pay is BELOW minimum wage. And that's before the gas you pay for out of pocket. And taxes taken out of your check. You are on call 6 days a week, 12 hours a day. The lowest commission I've ever seen is not paid out until month 4 or 5 or something and that's if they pay it. I was actually paid zero commission and bonus for my work, so in my experience, the commission is zero. You would have to sell high volume to barely make a living wage here but with so many fake appointments, I couldn't see that happening and they didn't even pay the commission I earned anyway. The sales guy jargon is spewed at you daily, morning to evening and the sales script has you straight up lying to people. I gave them a few sales and some referrals and then I left as quickly as possible. This is not the place for a solar career and for many reasons!
