Pros
This job looked like a good fit with my background. I have the skill set and experience to do it successfully. It seemed I’d be working with an elite team but read on....
Cons
The work wasn’t a good fit with my strengths. “Training” consisted of out-dated videos and the culture of the team was toxic. It was a dysfunctional team with no trust among the members taken directly from the top: It was evident that the owner Mike Klein didn’t care about us, and no one trusted him: he's the Don Trump of Design-Build and always RIGHT no matter what the reality is. I was stunned when one of my colleagues said, “You know, you can never trust him.” ELEVEN talented people from my department had left in 8 months. (don’t believe BOGUS reviews written 7/7/18; 7/2/18; 7/1/18; 6/27/18; 6/22/18; 6/13/18…these employees do not exist in the departments they claim to be from or were paid directly by Mike Klein). The 6/11/18 review is completely accurate and worth reading over and over before you even think of wanting to work here. Most importantly, management changes the terms of your employment contract after 6 months, and the “salary” goes away and you go straight commission 100% with a “draw” (meaning you pay back money), and this is never mentioned in any of the ads, interviews or employment contract. And with no meaningful training, you’re expected to “wing it” and sell over-priced jobs successfully… As a result, most jobs are lost to lower-priced competitors, and at 100% commission this means you hit a HUGE sales slump. Phone lead-takers always low-ball callers so when I arrive at clients’ homes, I’m forced to dance-around the fact that Airoom projects START at least 20% more than phone estimates. There is no compensation for mileage/vehicle-maintenance and each client appointment is at least one hour each way. The employment contract also contains a highly restrictive non-compete clause which makes it impossible to find work in the design-build industry for one year after you leave…WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK HERE AGAIN?!
