Pros

If you can get good at door to door sales, there isn't too much in the world that you probably can't sell. I was able to form good relationships with some homeowners and solving their problems was really fulfilling.

Cons

The business model has questionable ethics. Usually homeowners don't actually need a new roof but our supervisors were insistent that we sign them up any way. Support is limited but your supervisor will text/call/check your location to make sure that you are out there knocking doors 7 days a week. The guilt trip that they send you on if you want to take a weekend off is incredible. The actual roofing product that they put on is mediocre at best, I would encourage any rep to do their own objective research on the materials and crews that they use for their jobs, rather than just reading the marketing materials that they give to you. A solely commission based job means that your going to be subject to an intense income tax on anything that you do earn. Ask your supervisor about their sales rep turn over throughout a roofing season or about how many sales reps return for a second year, those numbers will speak for themselves. For some reason, a positive company culture is stressed a lot, but our team outings were more like a mandatory family game night than an actual fun way to blow off steam.

Premier Roofing Response

Thanks for taking time to share your thoughts about Premier. I can assure you that we are an ethical and reputable company that requires all of our reps to sign an honor code upon hiring. Additionally, we have an A+ rating with the BBB, have some of the best warranties in the business, and ensure that all projects are approved by insurance before production begins. We are also dedicated to using only the highest quality materials and the best shingles in the business. And while this position is not for everyone, good matches stay with Premier for years. We are sorry you had a negative experience.

Pros

High earning potential with a slow offseason to recuperate

Cons

To make a lot of money, expect to be putting in 12-16 hours a day, every day for 8 months. The income is actually lower than it should be because the overhead of this company is massive. They are constantly changing processes which can be good but for the most part, it just adds more work and hasn’t really show any positive changes in years. Ever since they sold out to investors, the company has taken a turn for the worse. Customer service satisfaction has dropped significantly. Employee satisfaction has dropped significantly as well. I worked at Premier Roofing for 9 years. At first it was great but not anymore. I sold millions of dollars for them and when I told them I was leaving, they gave me some time to close out my jobs. Then they cut me off 2 weeks early with no warning, stealing about $20,0000 in commissions. Yes, I am upset about that but the reason I decided to leave Premier in the first place was because the company changed too much, in the wrong direction.
