Pros

There's an opportunity if you love standing in Walmart

Cons

The entire job is a bit misleading from the get-go. In the interview, you just hear over an over about how much money everyone makes. It's a bit weird. They mention it's consumer sales, but fail to mention that your entire job is standing in a Walmart pushing an energy supplier on customers with no information. You bark at customers all day who want nothing to do with you, and it feels a bit like preying on the uneducated. There's an overall lack of training, and to top it off you don't get paid for office time or travel. If you're not at your sales targets you're expected to work long hours and on your off-days to make up for it. They offer quick promotion, but the only thing that initially changes are your sales targets are increased.

Hi Reviewer, thanks for sharing your opinions about working at Trig. As a performance-based company, we do talk regularly about commissions, top performers, and the achievements of our team members. Generally, we find that people love being recognized for their efforts. We represent our clients in retail settings and meet with their customers face-to-face. As with any kind of sales, rejection is definitely involved. We expect it and prepare our employees with the proper product knowledge, terminology, and systems so that they can clearly communicate with customers and be successful. We encourage anyone who has questions during the interview process or employment to reach out to management immediately. As one of the top-performing sales firms in the nation, we have a detailed and structured training program in place. All we ask is that our team members show up hungry to learn, ready to work hard, and willing to follow the systems and instructions that we have in place. The only time we hear feedback about the lack of training available is when someone hasn't been able to or willing to follow the steps mentioned above. Again, we thank you for sharing your thoughts and hope you are able to find a better fit in the future.
