Current Employee – been working at Power Home Remodeling Group full-time for more than 3 years

ProsEighteen months ago, I had written a review about Power Home Remodeling Group describing how the company had changed my life. Today, I am happy to see the growth not only of the company but my role in it.

After working at Power for 2 years, I was promoted and given the opportunity to relocate to a new satellite office. Even though I’m not as close to our headquarters, the distance hasn’t changed how Power challenges me to be the best that I can be. I have learned many things from the move and the promotion, these life lessons that have made me a more confident and courageous person. Working at power is not work; it’s a journey of personal and professional growth. Above all else, We value human character and integrity. This is what nurtures and develops the skills and professionalism that make our employees thrive.

When I was promoted, the professional guidance and mentorship that I had always known became stronger. Because of this, I am able to give my support and professional guidance to those who look to me, making sure that there is always a support system for success.

After being with Power for three years I find that I have been given the chance to offer the same opportunity that was offered to me, to all of my peers. Creating a positive environment is always key, I strive to gain respect by giving respect, whether by helping the Remodeling Consultants find new was to succeed, or by simply being available to act as a life coach as best I can.

When I wake up in the morning, I can’t wait to come to office. I wouldn’t trade that feeling for anything in the world. Working for Power is and has been a wonderful journey. I love looking back and realizing how far the company and I have come. The funny thing is that it’s only been 3 years. I can’t wait to see what the next 30 have in store for us!

ConsBeing that this was one of my first jobs out of college, having a healthy work/life balance proved to be challenging. Once I developed the discipline to stick to a routine, things became much easier. Depending on the position, the hours can be demanding but the reward is very much worth it!

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Power Home Remodeling Group full-time for more than a year

ProsThe number 1 reason Power is the best work place is because of the support system. Co-workers become family almost instantaneously which allows any struggles, personal or work related, to be overcome immediately. The schedule allows you to enjoy personal satisfaction mixed with ongoing success with the company. Truly thankful to be working here.

ConsThe stress behind a competitive industry can be overwhelming at times but that just comes with the business.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep doing what you're doing, companies don't expand the way Power does by accident.

Current Employee – been working at Power Home Remodeling Group full-time for more than 7 years

ProsGreat place to work! The company is growing fast so there are a lot of opportunities once you start to develop a body of work. I have been with the company for over 5 years and have had the fortune through hard work to start in marketing then grow through sales and now be part of the operations division. The company has great training every step of the way and you are trained by employees that have been in your shoes. All of Power's leadership roles are internally promoted which helps to instill a unique culture.

Check Power out is you are entry level or looking for a change! Plus you get an annual vacation...pretty sweet perk!

ConsLong hours sometimes, occasional Saturday work

Marlborough, MA

Current Employee – been working at Power Home Remodeling Group full-time for less than a year

ProsThe best part about this company hands down is the culture. Everyone in the office is fun, motivated, and supportive. I started slowly out of the gates, and my coworkers took countless hours of their own time to help me improve. When they could have been working on their own and making more money for themselves, they helped me instead. Our office understands that the success of our office as a whole far outweighs the importance of the success of the individuals at the top.

ConsThe unpredicatble schedule can be challenging. The work/life balance will take some time to get used to. That being said, with the office culture the way it is plenty of fun is had. The pros far outweigh the cons.

Advice to Senior ManagementBe more up front in the interview about the amount of hard work that is expected. The job is more challenging that what was described, and this should help minimize turnover. Beyond that keep doing what you're doing. This is a great company to work for.

Former Employee – worked at Power Home Remodeling Group

Prosgood for start up to develop thick skin and get a sales type feel

Conswhere would I start! a jokeeee of a company, well actually no, higher ups.. good for you! reeling in dollars and paying out virtually nothing I gotta hand it to you you nailed it. As for employees unreal how naive people are no one finds it strange that they literally hire ANYONE?? Haha wake up guys. It's a sweat factory in with the new out with the people who figure out the gig. From marketing to sales ZERO transparency about where your "bonuses" and "commission" comes from. They will juice you up with a hot month to have you chasing that paycheck again yet it will not come. Territory for sales is 55 miles radius and there is no gas compensation. Unreal as well how they blatantly lie online about base plus commission for sales job and cut the bs about "oh that's for marketing" No no no there is a different at that specifically says "marketing" base plus commission then a blatant sales representative ad that says work from home bla bla base plus commission. And as far as these 5 star reviews go... does anyone reeeeally think that sounds like an average employee posting these detailed 5 star perfectly worded reviews come on haha obviously recruiting and managers posting these. Unless you literally have no other option in the world which was my case after graduating during one of the highest unemployment rates in the country's history DO NOT even get involved here. Turnover rate is astronomical!!! You will also be promised a grand trip at the end of the year to a 2 star resort and the discount they get for booking that many rooms in white trash Cancun in December is astronomical as well. For all the money they dump into "promos" and "trips" a savvy young professional should probably ask "why don't we just get gas compensation instead??". Another question a savvy young professional should probably ask is "why am I pitched EVERYDAY with pie in the sky income estimates*** and childish things like wii in the office as a reason to stay with the company??" The company should speak for itself with why you should stay since starting my new CAREER* I haven't been pitched about my own job in my own office once since the interview. If you doubt anything I say screw me then! Go start up at PHRG and see for yourself that things will unfold literally exactly how I say, why am I so confident in that? Because every single part of the job is a script, there is no real sales aptitude needed from yourself to the "VPs" to the CEO it's one huge script. The VPs will sound very articulate and confident but after multiple years of saying the EXACT same thing over and over you would sound the same way. PHRG is an absolute scam but not hating on the owners at all as one salesmen to another you all nailed it with this! Keep livin the dream guys!

Advice to Senior ManagementNothing good for you all for getting in with the right people and reaping the benefits! That's the name of the game. And not you marketing "managers" you are not "management" you drive a van...
