Vantaggi
I truly believed in what the company was doing. The company is genuine about making a change in the energy sector and how people consume electricity. It was a huge privilege to be part of the green energy revolution on the ground. Major pros: freedom to structure schedule and sales approach (sales job), no ceiling on commissions, company car. Peace of mind when laying down head on the pillow about honest and good work.
Svantaggi
- Engineering and operations team often does not understand subtleties of local market - sometimes makes it difficult to keep the customer happy after sale has been made because of poor communication. - I was a mediocre sales person so I had to bust my chops 7 days a week to make quota. - Company grew so fast that I felt like a number at times. - Managers are newly-promoted star sales consultants, so don't have the skills to inspire, lead, coach, etc. - Turnover is pretty high. - When you leave, they keep your outstanding commissions. PAY ATTENTION TO THE FINE PRINT WHEN YOU'RE SIGNING THE SALES CONTRACT. I felt like I was cheated out of rightfully-earned money. If done again, I would not sign this, even if it meant not getting the job.
