Pros

Selling Solar is an intersting product to sell

Cons

This is the complete bait and switch. 4 started in my training class being told it is a work from home high paying job well over 6 figures. After training we were told that we were expected to come into the office every day. the number one sales person based on the commission pay plan can't be making 6 figures let alone the 150k we were told he is making. Marketing this product to the 70+ age group is a death strategy for sales people. When you do happen to get a sell they pay you 30% up front then 70% of the little commission after it installs which is 90-120 days. The owners of the company sit in the room where the sales people are trying to drum up business one of the owners sits and looks at the wall spinning his fidget spinner while babysitting the sales people. Don't be fooled by the response of the company on other reviews, Nothing has gotten better in fact the view people that haven't turned over in the last 5 months say it has gotten worse. you might go far if you happen to be related.

I'm sorry this wasn't the experience you wanted and I hope that in time, there is an appreciation for the 80+ hours of hands-on sales training and development delivered to our consultants by leadership , in addition to the countless hours of mentoring from those who are succeeding on the team. Outside sales is a great fit for some and not for others and I'm confident you'll find a perfect fit in your next opportunity. I wish you the best. Jennifer, CHCO, SunSmart Technologies

Pros

The benefit of any experience gained here might reach the extent of improving your poker face...

Cons

Toxic atmosphere, never changed while I worked there. High turnover should be the first sign to turn away, I am not convinced (after 19 months) it will ever change, not with the current owners/managers. Please read the legitimate reviews and be weary of any that sound "too good to be true" management themselves has left fairytale reviews of their own company in addition to asking current employees to leave good reviews to try and cover up all the accurate negative reviews. Multiple employees expressed concerns about treatment and most are fired in retaliation. Human Resources is a joke, it is more of a social party with no regard to the actual well being of the employees. Favoritism at its highest here. If you currently work there and are reading this, it is only a matter of time before you are the one writing this same review; if you don't think it's true...read the other reviews/comments. Best wishes to any persons who avoid or escape the manipulation of this company.

Let me first express that I am sorry you are no longer with SunSmart. And, I also feel compelled to reply to a few of the bold remarks so that others who are considering a career with our growing company won't be fully turned off by this review. Building a high performing team and organization is not for the faint at heart and because we are a smaller company, each person on the team impacts performance significantly, especially when or if they are not able to perform the goals required of the role. Each time someone leaves SunSmart, regardless of the reason, it impacts team morale and overall performance takes a dip. The leaders of SunSmart spend considerable time and thought as we strive to make the right people related decisions and foster a culture where people can shine in their role and thrive professionally, especially considering the amount of time, love and attention that goes into leading, coaching and teaching teammates how to perform at their best. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you, the author of this review, nothing but the very best. I appreciate your perspective regarding your experience with SunSmart even while my perspective is quite different than yours, and I hope that you find the perfect match in your next career opportunity. Kind regards, Jennifer
