Caveat Emptor on the Sales jobs. - Senior Salesperson Aquion Employee Review

All the employees were great to work with, formed relationships that continue since moving on.

I don’t recall any real cons to my position.

The best thing about this job was learning about the product. It is actually a well made product that provides a solution to a legitimate need. There are a few good people. Mainly in the phone room and a few of the salesmen. The commission is good, but that doesn't matter if you can't even make a sale(Which most don't).

EVERYTHING ELSE. They are desperate for people and have a ridiculously high turnover for their sales staff. Most sales organizations do, but this is especially bad. I mean the success rate here is worse than MLM. The training and sales process is HORRIBLE. They use high pressure sales tactics. The sales manager has no idea how to lead people. She tells the sales people "If it's not a sale and you aren't getting kicked out of the home, you haven't done your job." Management is Money Hungry to a fault and do NOT believe in putting the customer first. They train you to use deceptive practices to close sales. You will have to memorize an hour long script and be prepared to be in people's houses, pressuring them for hours. You can be paid well if you can sell at this company, but will you be able to live with yourself after? Ask yourself why most of the sales people who have made great money here STILL left the company.
