“It’s too good to be true” Because it is! It’s an ok job - NOT A CAREER.
Pros
Met some cool people. Enjoyed meeting different homeowners when they were in a good mood. They donate to Alex’s Lemonade Stand which is pretty neat.
Cons
It’s all a scam. You won’t be there long and the turnover is crazy. Do not take this job, you are worth more than this place. Get ready to put miles and miles on your car without any reimbursement. Which is total crap considering you drive over 30 miles a day to neighborhoods where you might not even get a lead. So many things are out of your control to earn money. A “lead” that you might spend over an hour trying to convince that they need windows will go through so much screening (ex. Credit checks) and they might never get the windows. The company says that they put you in neighborhoods every single day that will give you equal opportunity to get leads and make money but that is where Power fools you. There’s no way that you will have solid opportunities every single day for 20+ people. And then there it are the elements that you work in: you walk anywhere. In bad neighborhoods, beside busy highways, in hurricanes, tornado warnings, heat waves and frigid temps. And yes, right now you might think that you can do that every day. And you probably can, but you get burnt out very easily. Doing that every day, INCLUDING SATURDAYS is tough. And you might think you can do it, No problem, but I promise you that you will get burned out with it. You will be in neighborhoods where you are not welcome. Homeowners take “NO SOLICITING” very seriously, and they have a right to do so. And yet, Power ignores that. That is disrespecting neighborhoods and homeowners and guess who takes the brunt of that, YOU. Leadership likes to talk you all up - and you will believe it all at first. You will think that they are honest and really do want you to succeed. But no, the minute you struggle with hitting your number of leads you get per day, your time starts to see how long you will last. And real talk, Mike (the manager over the door-to-door salespeople) is a scam as well. The more you make, the more his paycheck grows. He just wants to see the numbers, like most companies. But this place will kick you off the ship instantly if your numbers struggle. And everyone gets kicked off - because they do not give you solid opportunities (neighborhoods) every single day to earn those numbers. Power is really creative - and they use it to hype people up, only to figure out later that it was all lies. (Also that all-expenses paid trip to Mexico? It’s not free. You have to hit BIG BIG goals to go on that trip so I wouldn’t bank on it.) Only two or three people has been there for over a year? Yeah that’s ridiculous, that’s a job - not a career. And to whoever reads this, you are worth more than a job.
