Pros

The minimal paycheck ($500/week).

Cons

The upper management doesn't communicate down at all. The company is going under so they are letting hoards of people go at once. Absolutely ridiculous call goals to make each day. Little territories to work within. No feedback on work done, so you better hope you are doing well or sucking up to management and on their good side, because your job could be at stake and they will smile at you and tell you you're doing a fantastic job and to keep it up. They tend to let people go right before they are eligible for benefits. They are all about closing deals, so unless you close a deal before your 3 months probationary period is up, you're screwed. Don't try to have a family and work this job, because they don't care if your child is sick or you don't have someone to watch your kid. No reviews to better yourself or guidance from anyone. The culture is that of any sales environment, so watch out for yourself.

Technipower Response

Thank you for your feedback. TechniPower offers a traditional inside sales opportunity. We give all of our employees the tools & training necessary to be successful in our industry. At the end of the day it is up to the individual sales person to put themselves in a position to find & close a deal. Unlike other sales organizations we do not have a quota in place. We feel that the undo stress of a quota is counterproductive to our team achieving their goals. Having said that we do expect everyone to put forth the required effort & energy necessary to have success. Being able to have 2 solid sales conversations per hour is not an insurmountable goal. However the stress & pressure of a career in sales is not for everyone. A six figure income requires a six figure effort.
