Continue reading - Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Nationwide company, company car, learned alot about large organizations. During my time I was able to rehash alot of old leads across the country and go into channel partner stores choose my own customers to spend time on. Never had trouble meeting quota and in-house financing and leasing made it super easy to close deals. Best if area is a newer suburban area with most homes built after 1960.
Cons
Huge disconnect being a large organization between what is going on at the warehouse level and what the VPs or even districts understand about an area. Old housing stock in LA that left at least 50% of sales being disqualified after site audit. Upper management refused to see that as the issue and blamed reps and managers etc. Doubled down on terrible decisions. Had to leave.

Everyone believed, strong sense of purpose. Quick moving and technology in house was top notch.

Once leadership changed at the sales level, focus shifted, priorities shifted. Its an issue of scale that all large companies must deal with.
