Pros

They pay for gas and tolls, but I haven't gotten any appointments where I needed tolls Team gathering events

Cons

They will cut your commission to cover their end of the of losses. If there are no appointments in slow months, you will still get reprimanded for not meeting quotas. There are also meetings twice a week where you do a callback campaign and call previous customers. We can easily do this at home, Why make us drive to the office? "Our appointment setting teams will schedule qualified appointments on your calendar for you to meet with the homeowner(s) and close with the best combination of products, services, and track record in the industry. " This was in the hiring ad, but they still expect you to call people. The salary that they advertise is a pipedream. Solar is a lucrative career, but it seems Venture likes to cut that short.
