Pros

When joining you feel like you will be changing the world. It is a noble cause to fight the incumbent and offer customer a real choice for their electricity. Saying you work for Elon Musk is nice too.

Cons

I mentioned the pros above. Unfortunately, they do not come close to balancing out the cons. You feel like cattle being led to the slaughterhouse. Managers, Directors and VP's look at you as pawns in their own chess game for bragging rights.The losing manager is paraded around in a TuTu.It is a frat house, Bro attitude among the leaders. They are focused solely on Cost of Acquisition and not developing their people. Half or full day meetings where they push two messages Premium Opportunities and Pull-Through. This is not my first sales job, so I know its all about the numbers. Even when you are 100% referral with a low COA and high pull-through, you still aren't safe. Be Aware. They do not care about you and your family at all. It is all about their egos.
