Pros
Fellow canvassers are great to work with and fun. Great to network with before they leave as most quit soon. Get steps in while walking; not sure if coffee machines/pool table count as a perk.
Cons
Misleading commission structure that appears attainable but soon realize how uncommon it is to bonus even for the “seasoned” ones. Even if an appointment you set sells you get nothing unless you reach a certain quota of appointments first. Have seen pay periods where few to only one guy will hit the metrics out of DOZENS. During interview/meetings they make it appear that this is a fast mobility workplace where youll get promoted within a few months. After onboarding you realize it’s misleading. Have seen directors/execs change up their requirements for promotions multiple times whenever new hires were brought on. Like many other retail focused places, they train you to heavily pressure people and to say whatever it takes to have them on a “free no expectations inspection/estimate”. Culture is very frat like; especially from the “execs/VP’s/higher management”. They'll pressure you to attend events; some which have had underage drinking and substance use. Some of us are parents/etc. and don’t have time to waste like the management in their low/mid 20’s can. Bias: if you can be cool with management you can get away with lot more. If you're not you'll likely get put on a “PIP” when you don't hit their lackluster performance metrics and given basically a notice that you'll get let go/fired.
