Pros

Rudimentary training. Company car.

Cons

The potential for projected earnings is 2 years out at a minimum. There is lots to learn. You learn most in the field but the number of details, between sizing, jam depth, handing, glass, hardware, with no margin for error, eats any commission earned. You are charged for every error. The habits of the company are constantly changing. The processes of selling, order verifying, submitting orders, installation change every quarter. The management style is very negative. There is no life-work balance as you are expected to be available 24-7.

Hello, thanks for your feedback. Many of our sales team members value the flexibility of managing their schedules and various motivators to grow their business. Winter can be a slower time for some areas, and our sales team often uses the opportunity to become more knowledgeable about our products and services.
