It should be illegal to do what HD does to people in this job.
1. 100% commission (half when sold and customer pays their down payment, 2nd half if customer is happy & pays remainder)
2. I only had one customer pay second half entire time there. Could only afford to stay in job for a few months due to it causing me to go into debt.
3. If anything goes wrong they take entire commission back.
4. Training is terrible. Nothing but youtube videos.
5. Product in most cases cost twice what your competition is doing job for.
6. You only get decent commission rate if you upsale an unnecessary warrany. Dont get it customer is unhappy.
7. Felt immoral selling product to people who really could not afford it and HD wanted us to scare them into buying it. Say things about black mold if roof is leaking, etc..
8. $0 reimbursment for mileage. Required to go to leads to run down trailors or worse where home was cheaper than roof job. Many jobs were 3hr round trip. Had to return to homes that bought multiple times for addutional paperwork due to management mistakes. Still $0 milleage reimbursed.
9. Forced to work in store every Saturday for free. Required to take a picture of yourself when you got there early in the morning to send to manager.
10. Many more, but HD has already wasted enough of my time and money. Hoping this helps the next person from taking this job.
