Pros
Flexible hours and depending on your manager, you may or may not get consistent information. It is highly likely that what you are taught in training will have changed by the time that you complete training. You will be expected to know the new information, regardless of what was taught in training.
Cons
Company was in a high growth phase when I was hired, almost a year ago. After recent negative market news Company abruptly changed strategy and introduced new metrics for individual performance. Training from experienced former Field Consultants is full of information that conflicts with current situation. Metrics reporting that management relies on is broken. Frequent internal application outages indicate an immature internal infrastructure. Company sells sales collateral to employees. In 30 plus years of selling, I have never had to buy sales collateral. Company wants Field Consultants to generate their own leads, but if you make a mistake in data input, due to being new and not understanding the strict lead ownership rules, while entering self generated leads, you eventually lose ownership of the self generated leads. Many promises made during the interview process, e.g. assigned mentor and number of company generated leads. All false. Company is trying to Performance Manage many people out instead of laying people off. Takes 3 Plus months to earn commission, if you leave or are separated before a customer install, no commission for you. Solar is a viable future but this company has many issues. Enter at your own risk, you may generate sales for which you will never be paid.
