Pros

Not micro managed Helping the environment

Cons

Depending on your area and competitors, it is very tough to make any money. Base is 30k. Commissions which they promise can easily be over a thousand every month is false because they dont know how receptive an area is to solar. Also once you do close a sale there are tons of factors that can happen which will then charge you back. If you like standing around in retail locations for 8 hours trying hound people to set up a consultation then this job is for you. There is also a ton of disconnct between managers and all they care is leads instead of closed sales which is how you make your money.

Pros

You'll have a job. (As long as you surrender your and will put up with getting shafted on a regular basis). You'll learn about solar so you can go work for another company that will value you.

Cons

You will be expected to work 7 days a week. Don't get sick or need personal time. You will continually be asked to do more work for less money.
