Pros

Co workers all feel miserable together about this place, so that’s team bonding? Scheduling and ‘leads’ are done for you, however scheduling gets paid per volume of appointments made. So 80% of your leads are a complete waste of time. Examples of my own: basement needed new foundation, water in back yard, toilet flooded x4, wanted to lift home, trailer home wanted better insulation.

Cons

Ever wanted to know what a bad used car dealership feels like? Work here, it’s basically tricking home owners into doing work they don’t really need. If you sell only what the home owner really needs you can’t last. The ‘culture’ here is so toxic that they need to continue to tell you how great it is every Monday to try and keep you motivated for one more week. They sell you on the idea of making 150k/yr when it’s only possible by tricking clueless people they need work to be done that’s most often unnecessary.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. At Thrasher, we strive to create an environment where our team members feel supported. We recognize that turnover can be a challenge, and we're continually working to improve employee retention through ongoing training, development opportunities, and ensuring leadership is aligned with our values of integrity, teamwork, and respect. We’re also committed to providing clear communication on earning potential and the expectations that come with it. While some of the issues you mention in lead generation and scheduling are concerning, we have processes in place aimed at improving the quality of leads and customer engagement. We believe that homeowners should recieve a full inspection and diagnosis of their issues vs. getting a quote over the phone, therefore, we don't know what issues their home might present until we are there. Our job is to treat every customer equally and fairly in our scheduling process, knowing that each appointment is very different when we get there. We believe in offering homeowners solutions that address real concerns with their homes, and we take any feedback regarding our sales process very seriously. It's important to us that our team is aligned with our mission of providing real value to customers through honest recommendations. We’re committed to fostering an open, supportive work culture, and if you'd like to discuss your experience further or provide more detailed feedback, we'd love to hear from you. Please reach out to us directly at 402-819-2466.

Pros

They are a good company to work for - they take care of their customers above and beyond what is necessary - they would rather give away thousands of dollars in free work than to get a bad review on Google.

Cons

It's all sales - whether your job title is actually sales or even in service and production. The one and only metric that you are measured on in service is sales - are you able to get your homeowners to buy more stuff.

Pros

the brotherhood created with the other SDS, helping people fix their homes.

Cons

High turnover because of management setting your personal goals above anything the company has ever achieved and than holding you to it, and when you do not hit them they let you go. You have to upsell every appointment you are on, Owners losing site of helping communities for large profits. Price point of projects is always higher than anyone else doing the same work.

Hi, thank you for your review and time spent at Thrasher. We are glad you felt connected to your team. Our Wichita team does an incredible job of living out our “One Community” value of giving back, as they showed last year through many acts, but making the largest donation of snacks for the Ronald McDonald house is one example. This is also why this location won our “One Community Award” for 2023. As you know, you are set up with sales appointments with homeowners who have reached out about our services and we go out to educate and consult, then provide a free estimate. If you would like to discuss any of this in more detail, please reach out. Thanks. Amanda, HR 402-916-4206
