Pros

Almost everyone in the office is in their 20s with a handful of people in their 30s. They have free lunch everyday once you graduate from the training program and free beer 1 or 2 times a week. Most of the people who work there are nice. Occasional happy hours.

Cons

All you do is make 200+ cold calls per day where you read off a script so although, your title will be "Sales Consultant," you're more like a telemarketer. Out of those calls, only a few answer because these contractors get bombarded with calls by HA, Yelp, Houzz, Thumbtack and every other service that has a similar product. The only way to sell it is to hard sell it which is why I wouldn't recommend taking this even as a first job out of school because in most sales jobs, hard selling would be seen as unprofessional, so you're not learning any applicable skills that you could use later. There's also a ton of horrible reviews about the product online including a class action law suit against the company for sending fake leads which makes it even harder to sell and a lot harder for reps to feel like they're not screwing people over by pressuring them into a product that doesn't work. Management is varied with some good managers and some not so good managers so you just have to hope you get put on a good team. Base is only 30k and you won't make nearly as much as they say you will in the interview. PTO package is terrible because you don't start accruing PTO until month 3 and you can't start using it until month 6. 401k is only matched at 50 percent. Hours are 8:30-5:30. Most people, quit before a year but if you're not making at least 4 sales every 2 weeks, you go on a performance improvement plan (probably half of the employees have been on one) and you have a month to turn it around before they fire you.

Pros

The culture is generally positive, and leadership is accessible. Management is willing to meet with employees and listen to concerns. There are talented people throughout the organization, and the work can be rewarding if you enjoy sales and helping businesses grow.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the compensation structure. The company promotes uncapped commissions, but many employees feel earnings are effectively controlled through continually increasing quotas and changing performance targets. Revenue and nominal goals are adjusted so frequently that it can feel like the finish line is always moving. What's particularly frustrating is that the majority of the sales team often struggles to reach 100% of quota, yet goals continue to rise. This creates the perception that compensation expense is being managed through quota increases rather than by allowing top performers to fully benefit from the revenue they generate. Over time, this can discourage high achievers. Employees who consistently perform well are often expected to deliver significantly more results each year just to maintain the same level of compensation. When exceptional performance is met with ever-increasing targets instead of proportionally increasing rewards, motivation suffers.
