Pros

You get a discount on service for your house & thats the only pros!! You could make decent money if you are lucky & work a ton of hours

Cons

Work all the time so there will be no work/life balance. Get used to working 6 days a week as they only care about sales #’s. Management is too lazy/cheap to get proper solicitor permits for each city as required by most all cities. If you don’t make 2-3 sales a day be prepared to be beat down by management saying you are doing it wrong & have to do ridiculous role plays so they can continue to point out what you are doing wrong!! Management is a complete joke & they only care about sales #’s so if you don’t hit a minimum of 2-3 sales a day/15 plus sales a week be prepared to be beat down for failing. Required to cold call bad debt customers & cancels to generate revenue for branch & those customers are irritated because they have been called 20 times by 20 different people. Work environment is toxic & you will be miserable!!!

Pros

- Very very easy to move up in the company. If you dedicate a couple years and show skill in sales you can move up to a sales manager position extremely fast. If you are willing to move the opportunity to move up is even significantly easier and faster. - Almost all of management started at the bottom and worked their way up, if possible they always hire from within. - Good money, get out what you put in. - Direct Management is great, local and even regional management is almost even fantastic, but any higher then that becomes out of touch and very frustrating to (albeit indirectly) work with.

Cons

- Inconsistent at times about expectations, at times asking for one thing then immediately needing the other. Can be frustrated to be pulled in so many directions, but not even remotely unmanageable. - Lot's of hours, especially in management. Prime time? (March-End of May) Say goodbye to your personal life! Mandatory 1/2 day Saturdays, definitely a grind but worth it. - Frustrating policies and illogical outlook on what success looks like.
