Pros

Decent starting wage, decent commission %

Cons

Absolutely awful company. Even as a man, the things I heard come out of my manager's mouths were absolutely abhorrent. They do not provide pay for travel (Not gas, nor wear to personal vehicle), but consistently required at least 2 hours of car travel per day. On some days it was closer to 4. This besides the fact that they put employee safety at risk by telling them to work late into the evening. Furthermore, my managers would frequently send us to no soliciting areas without the proper permits, resulting in the cops getting called more than once, and several trips from security out of private complexes we were told were fine to go to. I'm honestly lucky I don't have an arrest record from this job. Also, they talk a lot about the money but it really isn't there unless you're like a really bad person. Often the only way of getting people interested is overt manipulation tactics, and taking advantage of those with mental disabilty, which they teach you to do while training (at least at my local office). One of the last straws for me was when I found out my team lead was lying to my face about our office's (mostly his own) performance when his boss actually showed me the spreadsheet one day. Avoid Leaf Home at all costs, especially for the field canvasser and installer roles, which are extensively taken advantage of.

Pros

- Nice people - Built in culture of positivity

Cons

- Horribly outdated technology and misuse of technology for no good reason - For the size of the product and the size of the team, the tech debt was horrendous, and that can be owed in part to how strictly they adhered to agile for such small upgrades. The product was treated with kid gloves because if you blew too hard it might topple over, and suggestions of maybe starting from scratch seemed unwanted even though it was clearly a burden to the end user as well.
