Pros

I worked here before they had 20 plus sales people and the culture was on point. There was a ton of time flexibility and You could make a decent living as an inside sales person. Then the owners and management got greedy, they flooded the sales floor, upped the sales volume, and seemingly lowered the amount of sales leads.

Cons

Poor sales team management by the Sales Director, and Sales Manager. They prefer to have a revolving door of sales people coming and going. It's part of their model to grind people through their greasy and shady sales process.

You raise some fair points. The last thing we want is for our sales department to have high turnover or for our reps to feel unhappy or unsuccessful. As a result, we have made some changes in senior leadership within the department and decentralized it by breaking it up into individual teams and sales regions with team leaders. This allows better one-on-one mentoring and provides a better environment in which to thrive. As a result, we have seen turnover decrease and productivity increase. We are sorry your experience was not the best it could have been with us. But, we have taken the necessary action to improve on the points you mentioned. Thanks for your feedback and we wish you the best moving forward.

Pros

Culture was great, people were usually a big plus, pay was above average for sales. Warm leads at times. Got to work in an office instead of having to drive directly to homes.

Cons

Long hours especially at the end of the month. Management that wasn't helpful at times. Often felt like they chased money and didn't care as much about the customers. Lots of pressure, especially to hit sales goals.
