Pros

Potential to make good money/ Great Co workers And an Amazing home/life balance. Decent benefits & base pay

Cons

Got in at a great time and made some great money but there is no money made on upgrades, no residuals, and no repeat business. You must have referral agents in order to be successful because that's the only way to sign new businesses. Every month you start over with 0 sales so if you have one bad month it could throw you off for months. Commission changed 3 times in one calendar year and got worse every time. Major serviceability issues. You get paid on installs not on what you sell so essentially your paycheck is in someone else's hands. No real advancement opportunities. One month you are a hero the next you are trash but hey that's sales so you know that going in

Pros

Pay is good 40k/ year plus commission.

Cons

Don't know where to even start... with the merger pay is going to be less but commission higher. they say to manage your own hours (supposed to work 6 hours a day) like if you are managing your business.. lie. they actually want you working all day starting since morning till you 8pm every day and are asked to lie to the customer no matter what as long as you get a sale. and if you don't get a sale the supervisor humiliates you in front of the whole team. when you ask for help the supervisor is never there he gives you the runaround and just asks you to whatever the customer ask to lie to them (again). as per right now, they still owe me money form my commissions, vacations and referrals. i have not gotten anything because they don't answer my phone calls and HR said it's not there job to help me out. Payroll says to contact the supervisor and the supervisor is hiding brainwashing everyone to lie to customers and making the company look bad. This was in Compton, Ca. now they moved to Wilmington, Ca. they will also try to get rid of you first before you file accident complaints.
