      Pros

      Overall a fun job. The people are great and so are the benefits. People are very helpful and everyone makes sure you're well equipped to do your job. Also a lot of room to move up since the company is doubling in size every year. They have an ergo expert come out to fit everyone to equipment and can set you up with a standing desk as well.

      Cons

      The work is pretty good, but I make way more phone calls than I was expecting.

      Sales Team unstable/quota requirements unreasonable

      Pros

      Overall company ethics are solid. They do offer a base salary, commissions, bonuses, expense. There is a 401k plan.

      Cons

      The sales team is very stressful, the company has changed its metrics to Net Final Contracts as its method to decided if you will continue to be an employee. Net final contract means a customer who goes to installation. You can close hundreds of contracts but disqualifications due to roofing issues or shading do not count toward your quota. So only contracts that pass through the entire pipeline are counted. Its a 10:1 ratio for sale and then 50:50 ratio for Disqualification. Makes very stressful for sales agent, difficult to predict if home will qualify, not equipped to go into crawlspace attics to determine rafter structure
