Pros

Good co-workers, very minimal cut-throat environment in most areas. Offer good opportunities for movement until you get to a certain level.

Cons

Up to a certain point, career advancement seems limited. Lots of external hires seems to be the preference. Not very good work/life balance. Finance seems to turn on and off the lights.

Pros

Great product -- much better to finish a basement with than drywall Company name recognition They give you leads

Cons

The product is good, it is also very expensive and difficult to sell to most people Straight commission, very tough to earn a buck here The leads are very unqualified. Most of the time the people are home (which is good), but they are unprepared to buy or spend as much as we're charging. Telemarketing people set the appointments and are paid on appointments set, not on sales. (Left out to die). Ownership and management accepts NO feedback from salespeople at all.
