      Pros

      It is a company that has a bright future ahead of it! It is young, vibrant, and full of life!

      Cons

      Management will not cut anyone slack. If you are going into the last couple days of the month, and you have not met your quota, you can count on being laid off. My story is as follows: I had 6 sales going into the last day of the month, with a quota of 8. I had 6 appointments booked for the day, with 4 of them at contract signature stage, which is them digitally signing the contract, and that is it. Rather than let me work the full day, and see if I make it, they laid me off at 9:30 AM, after I came in early at 8 AM to work with some clients. When I looked at the check, it was dated for the day before. I thought that was pretty shady.

      Pros

      Great job if you can get your sales all the way to install.

      Cons

      If you cannot get your jobs sold through to install, you make absolutely no commission. Commission is only paid after install. I worked there for 9 months, in my second and third month I sold a total of 24 jobs. Over the next 5 months 18 of those 24 jobs were either disqualified by SC or the customer cancelled because it was taking so long to get installed. The highest commission for those remaining six jobs was $500 and I had to wait almost six months to get paid. They expect you to drink the company koolaid and except not getting paid a commission for 6 months. I cannot support my family with that.

      Good pay, breakneck bullet train speed

      Cons

      Your only purpose there is to make money for them...you are very expendable. No employee loyalty
