Pros

Great pay unlike any other job, high energy meetings, Learn to run a business quickly, can have great camaraderie.

Cons

Not for everyone. Can feel rudderless and needing direction if under a hands off manager. You must feel comfortable completely by yourself. Must learn quickly to be okay with no motivation as the most successful sales personnel make it into a scheduled habit to door knock without the need for motivation.

Pros

There’s a clear sense of purpose in the product, since it connects directly to lowering energy costs and cleaner power in California. When conversations go well, you can see people move from uncertainty to interest pretty quickly, which makes the work feel meaningful in short bursts. The retail environment also builds strong communication skills fast.

Cons

The pace can be repetitive, with similar objections and explanations throughout the day, and performance is closely tied to metrics. Some days feel more like managing skepticism than having new conversations, which can be draining over time.
