Pros

Not much by the time I left.

Cons

Change can be good but now when its chaotic and this place is full of chaos. They react, badly, to everything. Cut pay and make hollow promises. Working in the call center started out great and ended horribly. They hired from outside the company to run all of sales and made a bad choice. Pay is well below industry standard. Was promised 60-65k first year and made less than 35k, and I always meet my goal.

Pros

- Many good, quality employees - Good bonus Structure - Good amount of workable hours - I enjoy working with my crew of guys

Cons

- Its sad to see unqualified employees being promoted over those who are much more deserving. - There is no formal rooftop installation training. How one learns the training, from crew-leads and seniors, is "how it should be done;" be it actually correct or incorrect -Many times we are pushed simply to get the numbers corporate wants regardless of your family life and/or social life. - We often receive "inspirational" videos and clips from corporate. Many different regions have varying different obstacles they have to overcome to complete a job that, more often than not, extend the duration of the project. Simply telling us to "be better", "do more", "do it faster," "man up".....are not appreciated. Many of the videos are discouraging.
