Pros

Easy barrier of entry, will hire anyone

Cons

Management are criminals. They are unethical and lie to customers for sales. If you leave the company, they will not pay you the money they owe you on outstanding deals that YOU sold. They underpay tremendously and recycle sales people each year and rob them of the commissions they owe them.

Pros

Solar is good for the environment.

Cons

You'll work a ton of hours, 6 days a week and will have to drive your own car and pay for gas. You make most of your money based on commissions, 30% at the sale and 70% at installation. The installation is 3-4 months down the line and if you have a slower month, you're fired and they will not pay out your 70% installation commissions. In addition, your boss will treat you poorly nonstop to get you to quit and always has a new trainee to replace the next person going out the door.

Pros

Remote The staff is quite diverse and relatable

Cons

No actual updates: every couple of weeks, you will be asked to tell customers their project starts in a few weeks then repeat, this is not lying according to management but "managing expectations" Customers will call your bluff so be prepared for it. Micromanagement: fine-tooth comb through hourly productivity, big brother is tracking every single interaction during remote work - ultra-focused on the aesthetics of a dashboard. Unprofessional: tenured staff is not held accountable for their displays of unprofessionalism. The turnover rate is high for very good reasons,
