Pros

Wealth of experience and industry knowledge; Brilliant CEO; Career oriented.

Cons

Rampant Nepotism: Trinity grew too big, too fast. They elevated all the wrong people and now have severely unqualified 'buddies', family members and 'has-beens' from the door-to-door industry making decisions at the highest level. Trinity will regularly bring in outsiders from other companies, who have accomplished NOTHING for them, and elevate them to management positions ahead of tenured employees who have dedicated years to helping Trinity succeed. I watched too many good, qualified, loyal employees get passed up simply because a failed Vivint or Solar City employee came in talking a big game and got the management spot.

Pros

Amazing people, culture, and team. Pay and benefits are just as great. 10/10 workforce with kind and fair coworkers and bosses. Get paid for talking to people if you're good with knocking on doors.

Cons

If you're an introvert, you're going to struggle with the 'meeting new people' aspect.

Pros

Great people, caring upper management, fun meetings, good coworkers, great work environment, uncapped commission potential, base salary, full health, dental, vision, variety of optional insurances, 401k with large company match, actually helping people save money, helping the planet.

Cons

Inter-department communication, slow company-wide decision making, bad apples have forced upper management to make decisions that feel like tight leash on entry level reps.
