Pros

Flexible schedule which is nice. Unfortunately the reason it is flexible is because there are not enough appointments for everyone.

Cons

You are asked to do other people's job without getting paid to do it and without any training. Dealing with the head office in west Caldwell is extremely difficult since no one is willing to help AWFUL pay structure Bigger appointments are given to the reps who have been there the longest. No chance for new people to make money Forced to lie to homeowners and explain the window is different than the Pella window you can buy at Lowes There is 0 difference.

Pros

Good product. Good name recognition.

Cons

They don't value sales reps' time. Since this is a commission only sales job, they can hire as many reps as they see fit. The problem is when there are only enough leads for 3 sales reps to run, and they go ahead and hire 6. The manager ends up with a choice. Do I equally distribute the leads, so that everyone starves, or just go ahead and keep feeding the leads to my top guys, so I don't lose them, to heck with the rest of them.
