CULTURE
The company is almost like a cult. If you don't skip down the hallways you will be labeled as negative and likely be terminated for not fitting in with the Power Family.
TRAINING
They are going to expect you to memorize a very long script to say word for word that consists of hundreds of slides. If you don't do this correctly in the house they will potentially terminate you without warning.
For four weeks you will be forced to go through a training class at the office and then shadow a current employee to gain experience. You won't be home before 11pm. You'll then be expected to memorize 3-6 slides a night.
Everyday you are going to called out and expected to have your scripts perfect and if you don't the VP will make you look like a fool in front of your colleagues. If you fall behind, you will probably be terminated.
PAY - *IMPORTANT*
They are going to use pay to suck you in to working there.
They are going to tell you the average pay, but they won't mention that the average is so high because of the five-year veterans that came from their home office.
They are going to tell you the average close rate and average sale amount per project, but they won't tell you that you'll be required to shadow other people to gain insight two times a week, and go to two required meetings.
That means you'll be getting a maximum of 7 appointments a week. So now you're at 7 appointments a week maximum and that's without taking any nights or mornings off.
Now about those 7 appointments. They don't tell you that a computer determines who gets an appointment based on certain criteria. So when you're new and inexperienced you are getting even less appointments issued to you. You'll be lucky to get 5 appointments a week as a new employee.
APPOINTMENTS
You are going to a homeowner's house that is expecting a 15 minute free estimate but instead you are going to have to not only stay at least 3 hours but you also only have one chance to sell the customer on your first visit otherwise if they call back the next day you don't get a dime. This kind of pressure only forces you to be very sleazy when selling.
The marketing team that sets up appointments for you lies to homeowners about discounts and then it becomes your problem when you get there. If you like having integrity while selling, this isn't the job for you.
AWARDS AND RATINGS
The company goes to customer's houses after they do a project and uses the same sales tactics on them to pressure them to write a review right in front of them before they leave. The ratings and reviews from customers are being paid for with discounts or pressured by the quality assurance manager.
When the surveys go out regarding the company workplace awards, as an employee you are pressured to say exactly what they want you to so Power can win awards that they can brag about to their customer in their sales pitch with the premise that they are genuine.
CONCLUSION
There is definitely opportunity at this company but keep in mind there is more to the story then what they are telling you. Hopefully, things are a little more transparent.
