Pros

When looking for a career, it's always fair to ask a set of questions to gauge the company fit, growth opportunity, compensation, etc. You can be certain that Power offers an opportunity for immense earning potential, and given the nature of the business (on-call, one call close environment) your rewards are directly correlated to the amount of effort and dedication that you put into the position. You quickly find that those who fully immerse themselves into the company culture, in training sessions and boot-camps, are the ones who rise to the managerial positions and typically stay there. Regarding the culture, you have to understand that you are on-call 6 days a week (Monday-Saturday) within this role, so your work friends are your only real source of support and provides a unique cultural environment. A real work-hard/play hard mentality exists here, from weekly hangouts to an all inclusive yearly trip to Cancun in December. In summary: you get out what you put in, and how far you go within the ranks is how much of the kool-aid you're willing to drink.

Cons

This position is 100% commission based, so if you are not in a financially stable position, prepare to struggle for the first few months. You will receive $2000 over the first 4 weeks, which constitutes the advertised 'base salary,' but after that you're on your own. While there is no cold-calling required for the sales position (the marketing department knocks door to door, works trade shows to generate the appointments), you will be on-call from 7:30am to 7:30/8pm every day and have to leave at the drop of a hat to reach the appointment on time. You also won't be compensated for your gas/mileage, so if you are not performing you are essentially paying to be a part of the company. Finally, this is a one call close environment, so if you uncomfortable with a passive but high-pressure sales approach, look elsewhere.

Pros

After 15 years with the company, the biggest positive has always been the employee-focused culture. They genuinely invest in creating a good work environment, from modern office spaces and great amenities to company events, conferences, and even trips that help build team culture. The flexibility in BT to work remotely part of the week has been a huge benefit for work-life balance, especially with a family. Compensation is competitive within the home remodeling industry, and the company offers solid benefits like 401K and private health insurance. There are also opportunities to grow and learn if you’re willing to put in the effort.

Cons

One challenge is that career growth and promotions don’t always align with seniority or long-term loyalty, which can sometimes feel discouraging after many years with the company. For employees in tech-focused roles, compensation can feel a bit below market compared to the broader tech industry, even though bonuses can help offset that in strong years. Raises without a promotion are usually modest, and while the health insurance is decent overall, coverage for some major medical needs could definitely be improved.
