      Not as good as it may seem - Field Energy Specialist (aka Field Energy Advisor)

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You typically work alone - freedom. Good health benefits and 401k after one month of employment. Nice coworkers. Typical work day is 10am-6pm, but that's flexible.

      Cons

      On average in Ventura/Santa Barbara counties the sale closure rate is 10% and on average you might get 50 potential sales. Therefore, on average you'll get paid for 5 sales a month and be paid $180 for each sale. Altogether, you'd make $900/month in commissions plus base salary. They will exaggerate how good the sales/commissions are. Even the best salesmen weren't making great commissions. You aren't compensated for gas and you will have to drive long distances. The work calendar can change without prior notice. You might wake up thinking you're supposed to work in Simi Valley, but then you find out you were assigned to work in Goleta.
