Pros

If you are able to trick an elderly into purchasing a roof that 4x the price of local contractors then the money is good with morality being low.

Cons

mhmm like the title suggests, smoke and mirrors. Your told once you hit 60 or 90 days you don't have to come in the morning at 9 am and can have a day off so your work week would go from 6 days to 5. Once I hit the required days my boss (who has since been terminated for being shady and a complication with a previous female admin) about taking another day off he explained that's only if I'm selling 60% demo with 40% close which no one in the office had achieved. So my days consisted of showing up at the office at 9 am driving 4-6 intotal to my 2-3 appts that varied 1-2 hours away and getting home around 12- 2 am on average to wake up at 7:50 and drive to office to do nothing until my first appointment. No gas reimbursement no toll reimbursement. After working 5 months I racked up $860 in tolls. I was also told I would be offered a promotion after 60 days then it was after 90 then it was once a corporate trainer came down and so on. Cherry on top I was fired 3 days before I would receive my military sign-on bonus. Now I have 4 jobs that need to be paid out and I've been ghosted by my old bosses as well as corporate. This company is borderline criminal selling one product and then having to deal with clients who found out we were installing the competitor products that we spoke negative about. You are also told the meetings are qualified but the meeting setters are paid when you show up so they will send flyers that say "free installation, have a rep come out and quote you" little do they know installation doesn't mean the job it means what we pay the installers which isn't part of the bill regardless, so this results in your driving 3 hours to see someone who thinks the roof is free, if you bring this up the your boss he will explain how its for installation not the job completely gas lighting the fact that they specifically worded it to seem so. Last thing, they promise you'll make thousands per deal which you would if sold at full price but they admit we make initial number higher to shock them so their more likely to agree after the set discounts. Of course home owners aren't going to put on a roof for 100k when local companies would do it for 8k so once you drop it to max discount at 29% their looking at 71k and if they're silly or old enough to be convinced this is a good deal you receive 1% of deal. You make $710 erie makes $70,290 and uses cheap labor and our competitors products smh but they dont care if you sell it they just want to use you to go take photos collect info which once they know the last price and measurements they'll call back in the next few days and offer massive discount and cut you out entirely.

Pros

None, way overpriced toxic workplace

Cons

Basically have to scam anybody into buying the roofing systems because you’re two times as much as anybody else everybody there lies and is toxic and pretends like they know what they’re doing. We absolutely have no idea and then wanna make you feel like you’re a piece of crap because they have a bunch of self-esteem issues run do not work here. It’s a complete waste of time. It does not work out for most people. Usually only one person that get the leads or you have to fight to cherry pick them along with the rest of the snakes.
