Don't even think about working here

Pros

Not much good to say about it

Cons

Let me be brief- but very clear about what you can expect from working here: - The culture is TOXIC - expect to work every day of the week. ESPECIALLY weekends. You won't have a life on Fridays, saturdays, and sundays. They say they give you a day off, but your manager will guilt you into working on your day off. - during the week, you are working from 9a to 9p or later. You WILL burn out. -memorizing a script which does a very poor job of getting customers attention (no, they don't want to hear about the ceo, cfo, and cro and their entire life story) - take a look at the CEO's instagram- there have been customers who have looked him up, just for me to be caught off guard with an upset client that scrapped the deal saying they would never buy from a company who has someone like that leading the company. You're gonna work your life away this guy, and get hardly anything in return. - Your manager will harass you during appointments and push you to close deals that may not be in the best interest of the customer. The company has no idea how severe the backlash is going to be if they keep this up. -They send better appointments to their favorite reps. Expect to have a lot of Customer No shows, credit fails, and homes that are a bad fit for solar. - By the way, did I mention the harassing messages and emails from management? It's a problem, and they are lucky that they aren't in huge legal trouble as a result. - They push you to sell systems regardless of the offset size. they say "any solar is better than no solar". It's just not the case. Customers will be stuck with a bill that significantly increases their power costs, and YOU will be the one they call and complain to, regardless of how much you explain how it works. If you're in the appointment and don't close the deal, you'll be reprimanded by your manager for not closing the deal. And then you'll be sent to poor opportunities. -The turnover is insane. Like something I've never seen before. You'll be burned out by the management, pushy sales tactics that they force you to implement. I'm going to repeat this- the way Managers and Executives treat their sales reps and employees is straight up harassment. It's only a matter of time before they wind up in lawsuits and a crumbling workforce for the way they treat their people. If you value your time, career, and personal life, you won't work for Momentum.

Pros

If you love being harassed by other employees that have been there longer and not making money and not get your last paycheck when you give them your oficial 2 week notice than yes these are the pros

Cons

Poor management. Pay structure is looking for how to pay you less for your work. Bad training. When you leave because it's not working out because they will take leads away from you to choke you out they won't even give you what they legally owe you so your in double trouble. They promise 1 to 3 leads a day. It's a lie. They send you to appointments that all that person wants is to sue momentum because she was on a do not call list and momentum won't stop calling them so you will deal with this and more. Managers will take you off leads for anything and one of those things is you have to write a good review here to be put on leads again so that how they get good reviews.

Pros

You can make money. There are two or three people making great money. Everyone else makes bare minimum.

Cons

pay structure is horrible. You basically owe the company money every time you have a slow two weeks.. which happens. you get decent leads, top performers get the best. You work on call for 8am-9am. Nothing is anyones fault other than your own. You should expect to work 6-7 days a week and get scolded over everything that is out of your control. its commission only but you get a base pay of $500 per week that just gets deducted out of your "bank" so if you don't make a sale in two weeks because they only give you 6 leads MAYBE... probably less, you are already starting in the negatives. they don't give very many appointments right out of training so unless you have a large family that you will sell solar too, you are asking to be frustrated.
