2nd worst company in solar to momentum

Business Outlook

Pros

This company defies logic by saying there’s money to be made but there isn’t any. They take the pay if there is any leaving money for the salesperson. They pay gas and food $300 a week and the salesman doesn’t end up with much more and some days are better than others in sales but they instantly put you on notice and fire you for normal sales dynamics Free lunch on Friday. Woohoo..

Cons

Unprofessional upper management, corrupt people at the top,
