Pros

This a newer company in the Allentown area with a partnership with Constellation Energy. The job is what you make of it. Management does not micromanage you and there is daily training. Commission structure is simple and straightforward. The opportunity for growth is there as the company is rapidly expanding and they have shown that they promote from within. Input as a team member is encouraged and valued.

Cons

Sales, especially new business sales is not for everyone. You have to be self-directed, have a positive attitude and goal oriented.

Pros

They at least pay you something to attend the daily meetings. I lost money paying for daily travel expenses when compared to my monthly commissions.

Cons

Constellation, the energy supplier we represented is a solid company. However you are treated as a third world person by their Houston reps. They are marketing oriented at best. Don't question what we are saying and do exactly what you are told. Hard pill to swallow if you've been in sales for any length of time. Drove 56 miles roundtrip to attend morning meeting and give daily goals. Then had to back to area where I live to begin daily call schedule. Was initially told territories were protected only to find out that one rep was being allowed to go where ever she wanted. Trelevate management are top notch con men. Googled the only address I could find, one on our check stub, and it is a residence in a plat in Phoenix. Everyone works from home which explains why you can never get an answer to a question. Its a store front operation. Don't question anything done or you will be labeled as being negative and shunned by local managers. Left after 6 months and took position with energy broker. Couldn't believe the difference. Still have Constellation as main supplier to use but rules are different. Lower electric and natural gas rates from same supplier. Go figure. Can negotiate rate to be competitive and no TPV calls. Have formal business cards with printed name and phone number as well as ability to communicate via emails and letters to clients. A no-no with Trelevate. Better commission structure and NO MORNING MEETINGS.

Thank you for your feedback. I am choosing to respond to this so long after the post because yes, when we first started, we did work from home to keep costs down so we could put more money into our training, employees and services. Because we grew so much, several years ago, corporate moved into office space in Phoenix. Since that initial move, we've had to move into even a larger space because of growth. I am sorry your early experience wasn't all positive and I wish you luck in your career.
