Pros

In the beginning, working with Vivint was great. They provided full training including a 2 week course in Florida which is a nice break from Canada. I was given all new equipment including tablet, phone, tools and truck. They have always been flexible with my shift and have allowed me to visit doctors when I needed to. My immediate managers were friendly and helpful.

Cons

CHANGE. If you don't like change, don't work here. Everything changes on nearly a daily basis. When I started, I had maybe 30 or 40 pieces of inventory to track and now I have 100's. My job description went from installing security to: installing home automation, installing cameras, running CAT5 cables through the walls of homes, finding leads and so on and so forth. The software that a pro uses is under constant changes and upgrades. The panels software changes weekly which puts older software out of date forcing the pro to update all panels. Vivint is moving a million miles per hour in all directions and it doesn't understand the full impact it has on the pro's in the field. They have introduced metrics that measure a pro's performance including monitoring the time it takes to perform an install. This leads to working 8 hours per day with no lunch and no breaks.

Great opportunity for those looking getting into sales. Huge learning opportunity. Great door to door rep.

Tough if you get discouraged easily and not for everyone.
