Erie Home Reviews

If you enjoy sales meetings with jokes about masturbation, hookers and routinely being mocked and given "pet names" by management or having things routinely thrown at you you'll love working here. Besides, where else can you get paid for ripping off people by convincing those who can't afford it to buy their overpriced 1000 windows? The high pressure sales tactics they employ begins with management and infects the organization from the top down. In my brief time there I personally saw a member of management engage in all of the above conduct; when I complained to the branch manager nothing was done. I also heard the assistant manager brag about getting thrown out of a customer's house due to the high-pressure tactics, (the customer had to threaten to call the police to get him to leave his home). It's truly amazing this place stays in business. They routinely tell customers they're eligible for a 100 a window "rebate" for their old windows. In reality they give no such thing; Rather, they just start their prices out so high that after the "rebate" you're paying just what they would have charged anyway. They assure people their windows are so expensive because they are "investment grade," but you can get about the same quality and efficiency ratings by buying an upgraded window from one of the discount franchises (for about a third the cost!) As for their vaunted quality and "service," one elderly person I called on had been a previous customer who had a problem with shoddy installation; in spite of multiple attempts calling Erie he could not get them to come fix the problem. If you're a professional sales consultant who doesn't want to lie for a living and wants to be able to look at yourself in the mirror look elsewhere. Don't believe just the bbb site or bbb accrediting, (although there are complaints there too). Check other sources like yelp and ripoffreport.com. Where there's smoke there's fire, and if this many people have had the same type of complaints just think of all those who didn't have the time or felt too embarrassed they had fallen for Erie's snake-oil promises to complain. Run, don't walk from this company!!

mhmm like the title suggests, smoke and mirrors. Your told once you hit 60 or 90 days you don't have to come in the morning at 9 am and can have a day off so your work week would go from 6 days to 5. Once I hit the required days my boss (who has since been terminated for being shady and a complication with a previous female admin) about taking another day off he explained that's only if I'm selling 60% demo with 40% close which no one in the office had achieved. So my days consisted of showing up at the office at 9 am driving 4-6 intotal to my 2-3 appts that varied 1-2 hours away and getting home around 12- 2 am on average to wake up at 7:50 and drive to office to do nothing until my first appointment. No gas reimbursement no toll reimbursement. After working 5 months I racked up $860 in tolls. I was also told I would be offered a promotion after 60 days then it was after 90 then it was once a corporate trainer came down and so on. Cherry on top I was fired 3 days before I would receive my military sign-on bonus. Now I have 4 jobs that need to be paid out and I've been ghosted by my old bosses as well as corporate. This company is borderline criminal selling one product and then having to deal with clients who found out we were installing the competitor products that we spoke negative about. You are also told the meetings are qualified but the meeting setters are paid when you show up so they will send flyers that say "free installation, have a rep come out and quote you" little do they know installation doesn't mean the job it means what we pay the installers which isn't part of the bill regardless, so this results in your driving 3 hours to see someone who thinks the roof is free, if you bring this up the your boss he will explain how its for installation not the job completely gas lighting the fact that they specifically worded it to seem so. Last thing, they promise you'll make thousands per deal which you would if sold at full price but they admit we make initial number higher to shock them so their more likely to agree after the set discounts. Of course home owners aren't going to put on a roof for 100k when local companies would do it for 8k so once you drop it to max discount at 29% their looking at 71k and if they're silly or old enough to be convinced this is a good deal you receive 1% of deal. You make $710 erie makes $70,290 and uses cheap labor and our competitors products smh but they dont care if you sell it they just want to use you to go take photos collect info which once they know the last price and measurements they'll call back in the next few days and offer massive discount and cut you out entirely.
