Svantaggi
It is the absolute worst place you could possibly ever work. You are a replaceable cog in a bad wheel. Local management knows nothing about the home improvement business. They are truly the most unqualified management they could hire to coach and mentor the sales staff or any staff for that matter. You will drive 5000 miles per month and go to appointments that are not home and not confirmed. Office management is condescending and has no idea what going on an appointment is like because they have never done it. They post fake numbers that make the office look more successful than reality. Ethics is not in their vocabulary. Your commission will be dramatically different than what you expect or calculate. Many of my colleagues complained of zero commissions on a job. They will take your commission to pay for the financing fee from a lender. You get no commission, but they install the job you sell. That is an interesting concept. They go to Home Depot to buy product for an installation and the customer doesn’t realize they are getting inferior products that are not what they paid for. The bottom line is you will make little to no money. Sales managers who assign appointments will go on 30 appointments and the other salespeople will go on 15. You’ll work at Long Home Products and realize I drove 50000 miles, sold jobs for nothing, never hear from your manager when you have a concern and will wonder what the hell happened when it’s all over. Over priced and over hyped. Long Home Products is absolutely , hands down, no contest, 100% accurate when I state it is the worst experience of my life. Over 75% of the office would communicate the same sentiment. In a training class of 26 people less than 10 are still there after 3 months. In the last week alone five salespeople have quit in one office. The risk will be yours if you decide to work there. They offer nothing when you work hard to sell their products. They have so much to say when you wise up and move on. Ask them how many senior level employees (i.e long tenured trainers, corporate sales manager, etc. left in the third quarter of 2023. I could go on forever with the issues at Long Home Products.
