Thank you for the feedback! We're sorry for this misunderstanding and we respect our canvassers because it takes a lot of self start to be successful. That's why we implement a bonus plan, send top performers on company trips, and develop employees carefully if they have the qualities needed to grow toward a new position. So we do our best to recognize our canvassers and are sorry that sentiment was lost on you. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us. Thanks again for the feedback!

Pros

Pay potential if you’re very patient and have about 4 months of cushion before getting paid. Definitely recommend this job to someone you don’t like and want to have a poor few months.

Cons

Awful/hateful/ignorant culture. Pay/commission takes months to come through due to other peoples laziness that you have no control over (end that’s just for Front Ends which is 50/50 with Back End pay). Job has extreme favoritism that ruins any possible work life balance. If one boss doesn’t like you they will send you on a 4hr drive (no gas compensation) to a lead that isn’t home. Many days of 7am-11pm just driving by around to empty homes or uncontrollable circumstances 6 days a week. System is pretty poor and to have success you really have to take your own direction. People who don’t won’t be paid ever. They require phone calls that are really stupid and hateful with bosses in house that lose a lot of trust from customers. If you don’t make the pointless call they will scream and curse you out about how pathetic you are.

Pros

Good question, not much that I can think of

Cons

Run!! As quickly and as far away as you can. They will work you ragged 14 hours a day (6 days a week) and treat you terribly while doing so. These aren’t warm leads, most homeowners are outright hostile to your presence. You will drive hundreds of miles per day, paying for your own gas, and 3/4ths of their “verified appointments” aren’t even home (I had 9 in a row at one point). With no-homes, they force you to lurk outside the house for an hour like a creep preparing to pounce on your prey the second you hear a sound. The 1/4th that are home have absolutely no desire for you to be there. If by some miracle there are a couple good leads, the team leads will keep those for themselves. They praise reps who refuse to leave when a homeowner asks them to - “Cops or contracts” is their approach to sales. They expect you to force your way in and barricade yourself in the clients home while they fire off slugs from a shotgun until you can force a yes out of them. If you dare show even the smallest hint of humanity and understanding of a client’s financial situation and unwillingness to take on 50k in debt within one hour of meeting you, management will rip you to shreds and shame you in front of all your colleagues. They expect you to convince clients to go behind their partners back and make decisions without them - All of this while claiming in your company sales script “We’ll take a no as graciously as a yes.” The only way to be successful with DaBella is to check your morality at the door. The way the company is designed isn’t too far off from a pyramid scheme - everyone above you gets a piece of the pie every time you make a sale, but the only piece at risk of being regularly taken away is yours. If this sounds like a positive culture you are dying to be a part of, then look no further!
