Technipower reviews

Very young and immature atmosphere. This isn't an 8-5 job because management expects you to also participate in after work activities to become "friends" with management and co workers. Work starts to get complicated and dramatic as everyone spends too much time together. The majority of the management lives and breathes Technipower so the drama and non stop work talk never ends. Their business ethics are also questionable. Promotion consists of sharing your territory with a new entry level sales person so while you are training them you are not only giving up a part of your own territory but also spending time on someone who probably won't bill anything for 6 months. This is one way Technipower puts a "cap" on earnings. Base Salary is well-below market. Commission structure would be competitive (as percentage is fair), except you are confined to a small & arbitrary territory where there is limited business to be had (this is another way they "cap" your earnings). If you are motivated by commissions and other bonuses (such as real, monetary bonuses and perks) look elsewhere. Technipower's form of a "bonus" is a pizza party or bowling night.

If you don't like being thrown into the fire to learn, then this isn't for you. If you don't like to pick up the phone and just do the job, this isn't for you. Yes, the phone is heavy when you first start, it's weird making calls to people you've never met, but that's the job you signed up for and you know that day 1. The saying "Work Hard, Play Hard" is very true here. You're not just going to be handed job orders, you work for them. The base pay is on the lower side, yes, however, I cannot stress enough that if you JUST DO THE JOB, you will never live off of your base pay. There are a lot of managers but when you look at the United States as a whole, only half the states has someone in charge of them. 50 states with 25 managers... there's room to grow. Don't look at it as there are 75 people in the company and 25 managers, look at the big picture!
