Pros

While working here you'll at least occasionally experience the "feeling" as if they actually care about you. But make no mistake, they don't. I also made good money at one time.

Cons

The Owners/Partners of this company lack any ability to empathize with anyone or anything. They lock themselves in their office and communicate with the employees and customers as little as possible. Actually, I take that back, they don't communicate with the customers AT ALL under any circumstances. Why, do you ask, because they despise people in general and their customers are no exception. The Partners will do and say things occasionally that make you feel as though there might be a chance that they actually value you as a human being but, what they're really doing is deliberately manipulating you to do what they want. And that is, make them money. They hire management who are puppets on a string and share the same lack of ethics as they do. They bring on employees, make them sign non-competes and work them to death. Then one day you'll come in and they'll have a reason why they need to cut your pay along with a very cleaver angle on why that's not a bad thing. And don't even think about quitting! Every single person who has left this company from installers to sales guys have been screwed out of pay. There are no exceptions, you quit, you loose everything that you have previously earned but have not been paid on. They even make you sign a document when you're hired that says if you leave or get fired you forfeit all earners. (For the sales guys, that 3 months of pay!) Then, as if that is not bad enough, they will take every opportunity they have to slander former employees right in front of the staff. They do this because they want us to think that the employee who left ware just bad apples and were unjustified in everything that they felt or said. Don't like being micromanaged? Than this is not the place for you! They've gone as far as to make their employees install apps on their own personal phones that track their location at all times. Management will demean you in front of co-workers if you're not compliant to every request. Rules change daily, literally daily. Even if you try to follow the rules by the book, management will throw you under the bus at the first sign of a problem. For instance if one of the "new rules" resulted in negative consequences then management lie and say they never made that rule and they will tell the Partners that you just went rouge. But then you can't stand up for yourself because you're not allowed to talk to the Partners. So every single possible problem results in the same thing, YOU'RE the problem.

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
