Power Home Remodeling reviews

Dont be fooled this is a door-to-door sales job. Thats it. You show up 11 am have an hour meeting with management which they tell you to try hard because your gonna make alot of money. Then at noon everyone jumps in vans and drives to a destination neighborhood where you set off for your door to door your sales. What your selling is to get people to sign up for a free estimate. This estimate is not really an estimate at all, the estimator is really a sales guy that shows up at people houses and does what ever he can do to sell them thousands of dollars in replacemnt windows or siding and ussally last hours or until the people physically throw him out. Pay $26,000 base + commision of $50 per free estimate (lead). BUT the $26,000 counts as your first 10 (leads) each week which they fail to mention until training. If you dont get more than 10 leads a week then you dont get an extra nickel. Leads are not that easy to come buy considering you must set up an appointment with the people in which both husband and wife are there and they most confirm it over the phone with the appointment office on your phone while you stand on their front porch. Im not gonna lie there are people working here that are really good at this and do make a good deal of money. Im sure if you master your technique you could become one of those people making $45-$60 k a year they advertise. But dont expect to see that early on, and expect to walk neighborhoods knocking on doors 6 hours a day, rain or shine, hot or cold. If your a college graduate you will feel early on that this is beneath you because you jsut spent 4 years in college getting a degree doing then are out doing the work a high school dropout could do. If you want to try it out go ahead. They will pay you for trying. Even if you dont get a single lead.

-They lie to you about the role in the interview process. They make it seem like you'll be going door-to-door for a few weeks or months, then transition you into a sales role. While that is true for some, it's not for most. And they completely lied about that to me in the process. -They lie about the money you can make. I straight up asked my interviewer what the typical employee would make, he said no problem about 65k, if you're awful at the job, maybe 60k. This just was another straight-up lie. If you're bad at the job, you'll make 26k a year before they fire you. If you're a good employee who busts his tail day and night, you'll make about 45-50k. Some guys are great at it and do make the money you are promised. But to be great at it, you have to be a slimy salesperson who doesn't mind ruining people's days, or costing them thousands of dollars. I could go on and on about the negatives of this job. It is such a scam for homeowners, and for someone who considers themselves a good person with morals like myself, it feels awful setting these people up with a company like Power. Power will harass them nonstop with phone calls, selling their credit information to other marketing companies, and the overall high-pressure sales pitch done to homeowners is awful. Buy right this second after I'm in your kitchen pitching you for 5 hours, you'll save 10 grand. Wait a day, you are screwed. It's terrible. I'll try to end it here. If you take the job, you'll be walking door-to-door 6 days a week, you'll be driving usually like 45 minutes to an hour away, sometimes up to 2 hours away from your home. They don't pay for gas, and the base pay is only 26k. You'll have meetings at 9am or 10am most days, drive an hour away, pitch door-to-door from 1pm to about 7pm in any weather, then drive all the way back, and repeat Monday-Saturday. Take the job only if you desperately need a job and are looking for experience. That's it. Do not believe anything they tell you in the interview process, they lie to you, and hire anyone. Oh, you'll also get the cops called on you from time to time, because Power RARELY gets granted permits by the town they have you pitching in. My coworker literally had to go to court because of a soliciting ticket he got because power will send you knocking illegally. Stay away unless it is your last resort. Maybe COVID forces you here because they are always hiring, but I hope not for your sake. They also write their own employee reviews. Check out Yelp for a better idea of what you are setting up your homeowners before. It's terrible.
