Pros

Have the ability to make a good short-term and fluctuating income from monthly sales commission if your territory’s rates are competitive lower than local municipal aggregations, your local utility distribution company’s or competitors. The company tries to set corporate values with having the overall presence of being “a family oriented supportive based company,” but this mentality is gradually changing to the complete opposite as the company continues to grow in size.

Cons

The salary is only $22,000, which is more than the average McDonald’s assistant manager salary. The company states you’re paid salary, but this statement isn’t true at all. If your activity is low for a particular day or not working until 5pm, they could determine to pay you or not. Salary is you get a fixed amount no matter how many hours you put in. This isn’t really salary based. The company is so obsessive and pressures their sales force about breaking sales records and exceeding unrealistic sales quotas, they could care less about unexpected circumstances that could take place in their sales consultants’ lives. True Story: A few months back, I’d received tragic news about a personal matter. I’d notified management early in the morning that I was not able to work on that day due to a personal emergency. Later that afternoon, management had called me to discuss the matter of increasing my door knocks (number of businesses I go to on a daily basis) even when I was one of the top sales consultants in the company. This clearly shows they don’t care about their sales consultants and it’s all about their client Constellation! Have to make a minimum of 3 sales per month, which is a set criteria from Constellation. So, if someone closed the largest account in history or closes 40 sales in one month; the sales consultant would be fired from making only 2 sales the following month. This doesn’t make any sense at all. The sales consultants’ territories are too small to consider this as a long term career. The turnover rate is extremely high and it’s set up as a Churn and Burn Sales Company! Hardly paid anything in advance to cover gas expenses or car depreciation while working. If you do the math, the amount of money a sales consultant makes isn’t much at all. They say you can make six figures, but only 1 or 2 sales consultants within the entire company have an income that’s somewhat close to that amount.

Thank you for your feedback. First and foremost, let me apologize for you being contacted later in the day after you had explained you would be out. That is not a common occurance for Trelevate. Management has discussed much of your advice and "cons" section and would love to speak to you directly. If you would like to call me at 480.460.0294, we can dig into it a bit more. Thank you.

Pros

Trelevate offers a wonderful opportunity to elevate yourself, others and your community. They gave me a chance when no one else had, and I'm glad for it. With the training they offer, the family and team atmosphere, work-life balance, and some personal gumption and goals, I have been able to do well. PRO's: Great team atmosphere. Base pay. Good benefits (if you need them). WONDERFUL incentives and trips. OPPORTUNITY to make a new life. Upward mobility. Positive environment. Wonderful support from the corporate office, staff, and executive teams. Work-life balance. Networking with others from across the nation. Humble and personable leadership. FAMILY feel. You will be elevated. You will be challenged.

Cons

Little vacation pay year one; however, this is a very minor attribute. Not sure this is a CON however.... One must be self-motivated and have goals to work toward. If this isn't you, Trelevate may not be for you.
