Pros

None, Waste of time, gas and effort. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.

Cons

Countless hours driving. Leads are obtained in a deceptive manner. Customers are given bogus sale to pressure into buying now or you don't get paid. No reimbursement for gas or time if sale is not made. Can't call back a customer if sale is not made that night. Company uses all the info you gathered at your cost to undersell your miss. Previous customers are not happy with the product or service. You are sent on leads which may be a two hour drive only to find no one home, they lost their job, they are only interested in the bogus contest they entered etc. Management lies, Marketing dept is rude. Totally unethical company. Would not recommend this costly experience to anyone.

Pros

Ability to make ALOT of $$$ Night hours (if you'd rather have your days) Paid training (VERY INTENSE 5 DAYS!!)

Cons

Leads are generated by entering for "free Windows" Call center uses that info to call and pressure you into having a Salesman come out. Salesman are taught to read a 2.5 hr presentation to the potential customer (starting between 6-8pm) Not allowed to contact the leads to see if they are home... Must go through the call center which will then call the leads. Asked to "sensationalize" every little problem with the windows in someone's home to create urgency so they buy asap. Business Practices that don't coincide with my morals

Pros

Decent pay if you want to work long hours and drive insane amounts.

Cons

The management is useless. They constantly set you up to fail. Salesmen are taught to lie, lie, and lie some more. The installer is left to fend for themselves with no direction or materials. Its a joke.
