1. Commission only, zero benefits.
2. Some customers are belligerent.
3. Drive over 2,500+ miles every month, occasionally to very rough neighborhoods.
4. Vehicle is packed full with over 80 large flooring product sample boards, rendering it useless for anything else.
5. Receive only one or sometimes even zero leads for the day, making it impossible to perform the required 15 leads a week, negating any additional weekly/monthly bonus potential.
6. Leads for tomorrow’s work schedule arrive late the night before between 9:30pm-10:00pm, making it difficult to plan your days ahead.
7. Sales managers get mouthy on the phone and question why isn’t the homeowner buying today while you make the required multiple calls to the office for price drops, even after the customer has expressed zero interest in buying today at any price in which they begin to get upset and tell you to leave their house.
8. Those calls to the office to reduce the price will also reduce your commission- down to 3-4%, which is extremely low for the amount of work put in. Many home improvement sales positions in other areas of the home will reward you with 12-15% commission.
9. Try to take a day off and you’ll be questioned by the owner as to why.
10. Any review on here that states: ‘If there were any cons, I do not recall them.’ or ‘None that I can remember.’ or ‘There are none that I am aware of.’ is obviously a fake review as evidenced by Glassdoor’s Alert to warn job seekers of National Floors Direct attempt to inflate reviews.
