Pros

Good pay for the sales reps, much of which is up front. Good product for the price point. Top performers are pretty well left alone.

Cons

Family owned can be good and family owned can be bad. There is low value placed on the humans who work for this company. What is said in a public format vs. what is said and done in private are two different things. There is an arrogance that permeates through out this organization that you don't see right away. If you sell at an extremely high level, you can get away with almost anything. It is difficult to lead others with a known double standard amongst the reps.

Pros

Pay was good when nothing was wrong with the estimate you gave but something was always wrong.

Cons

Poor communication & training, particularly in errors in estimation. You would never get a documented reason for your job being short & never know what your paycheck will be. Tons of Teams meetings going over the basics with the never ending classes of new reps to replace all the ones who left or were let go for not hitting high closing targets. A complete lack of leads. Instead of 1-2 per day, it was more like 1-2 per week most of the year. Long travel to appointments & no compensation. Terrible job hold issues. Every job goes on hold & you only have 3 business days to fix it with very little information & direct support. You sell something after spending hours in someone's home & then it can be another several hours or days worth of work going back & forth with the customer & the office doing paperwork. They also changed their credit approval system to make more money but it was a huge inconvenience to the rep & customer. If your office has a top salesperson, they will get all the leads while you're there & after you leave.
