Decent job to learn the industry....

Pros

You can make some good money in this company if you’re good at upselling. Be prepared to lie/ overcharge customers for the lack of quality work that is provided.

Cons

Uneven territories and not enough customer base to make a consistent income. There is a lot of micromanaging. It’s all about numbers and not so much the customers or employees. Forcing product down customers was not fun. And the quality of services provided is terrible.
