Pros

Salary is based off commission.

Cons

Very difficult to sell in the communities that literally have solicitation laws against what you are doing. The metrics or knocking or doors need to be hit even if it takes time to close the sales you need to hit those metrics.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad you recognized the opportunity our commission-based structure offers for high earning potential. We understand that selling in certain communities can present challenges, especially in areas with strict solicitation regulations. We work diligently to provide training and support to help our team navigate these situations effectively and ethically, and we’re continuously evaluating our strategies to ensure they align with both local laws and our company standards. Regarding performance metrics, they are designed to help drive consistency and success across the team. That said, we recognize that every sale is different, and we’re actively working on ways to better balance productivity expectations with the realities of longer sales cycles. We appreciate your feedback—it helps us improve and support our team more effectively. Wishing you continued success in your career.

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.
