Pros

You have a lot of flexibility. There's a lot of incentives (seen people get inflatable hot tubs) and all expense paid trips (1 week in cancun). You get to travel to interesting cities. You choose how much you want to make. They offer a lot of training to help you out and be successful. Most of the time you'll find people you really enjoy being around on your team. The experience you get from working door to door is pretty awesome and really helps you with future job's. Company's like to see that cause it takes a special type of person to be able to do a commission based door to door job. You're literally convincing people to sign a 5 year contract for a $5000+ security system after they met you on their front porch for the first time within a few hours which is pretty awesome and makes you feel amazing when you close. Upward mobility is pretty decent and you get stock options eventually. Most managers will make like 150k-250k+.

Cons

Well, you literally have to be a special type of person to be successful here. I've seen people make 150k+ their first year and I've seen people on their 2nd or a 3rd year doing Vivint make around 15k. The job is seasonal so you make 90% of your income during the summer (4 months). You work Monday-Saturday from like 10 am-10pm every day depending on how your manager is. You cant use your own car to drive around unless you're a top salesman. After 4 weeks or so you're grace period is over. Which means if you don't sell at least 1 account one of the weeks, you'll be put on quota. Once you're on quota you have to sell 2 to stay and 5 to get off quota. I'll put it for you like this, at the beginning of the summer my team had around 40-50 salesman. By the last week, it only had around 10 left cause so many people either quit cause they got burnt out or got sent home. Reviews online are absolutely terrible when it comes to a Vivint system (even though it's actually pretty good) cause people only report the bad experiences so it makes your job ten times harder. This leads to people buying it then canceling on you a few days later which will absolutely kill your moral. Also, I've seen many people lose sales cause the technician showed up to install it and they were rude or awkward and it scared the customer out of the deal or they happened to get a faulty piece of equipment.
