Pros

Able to learn techniques for effective *cold calling* Able to learn what you do not want to do for a living

Cons

"Primary job responsibilities" claim to be Development and coordination of marketing strategies Promotion of Power’s products and services to prospective and existing clients Delivery of interactive sales presentations on eco-friendly, green products and services Participation in ongoing training camps on a weekly basis With respect, when you jump to the reality of the job, very few of these are actually true. In fact, when comparing the claims of the above to what you actually do at this job, the previous claim are very misleading. I worked at this job for over three years and did very well, but it still does not change the fact that the previous claims about what the job is are true. there is no opportunity to... "Develop and coordinate of marketing strategies" - You do not develop or coordinate anything. You either work in a sam's club cold calling people *as they walk out the door* or *knock on people's door's* and ask them if they would like a free estimate on energy efficient roofing, siding, or windows. Do not take this job if you hope to be 'marketing' solar panels like the company claims. This is a cold calling job. There is nothing wrong with that, although they do everything possible - including their indeed description - to make you think otherwise. This is not a job for the college educated. "Delivery of interactive sales presentations on eco-friendly, green products and services" This is also very untrue. In three years as a 'sales rep' I did not, or hear of anyone, who gave a 'presentation' about any product Power Home Remodeling has every 'created' remember, this is a COLD CALLING job. NOT a marketing job. You either accost people as they are leaving sam's club to sign up for a free estimate or you knock on their door to accost them for the same.

Pros

After 15 years with the company, the biggest positive has always been the employee-focused culture. They genuinely invest in creating a good work environment, from modern office spaces and great amenities to company events, conferences, and even trips that help build team culture. The flexibility in BT to work remotely part of the week has been a huge benefit for work-life balance, especially with a family. Compensation is competitive within the home remodeling industry, and the company offers solid benefits like 401K and private health insurance. There are also opportunities to grow and learn if you’re willing to put in the effort.

Cons

One challenge is that career growth and promotions don’t always align with seniority or long-term loyalty, which can sometimes feel discouraging after many years with the company. For employees in tech-focused roles, compensation can feel a bit below market compared to the broader tech industry, even though bonuses can help offset that in strong years. Raises without a promotion are usually modest, and while the health insurance is decent overall, coverage for some major medical needs could definitely be improved.
