Pros

I must admit, the manager of the local office was outstanding. Genuinely a nice guy and a good guy to work for.

Cons

Outside of having a good manager who knew how to sell, this company is littered with cons of working for them. The leads are poorly vetted, and almost every single appointment you are sent to is over an hour away. I had very, very few appointments where both spouses were present. When pitching a $45k-$50k deck it is almost impossible to close that sale on the spot, which is what was expected of you. Apart from driving about 1k+ miles each week for your appts, you had almost no chance of follow-ups with the prospective clients because within only a few days of your appointments, the call center would call them back and offer them a substantially lower price on the deck (because the call center reps do not make commissions, they could afford to sell at significant discounts.) Being a commission-only job, these work conditions are completely unacceptable and I would not recommend this company to anybody.

Pros

Seemed like a good company to work for at first.....

Cons

Poor communication and micromanagement from the very top all the way down. Sub contractors beware - they will pay you whatever they feel like paying you without adhering to your contractor agreement. This company has absolutely no business in the decking world. They do not know what they are doing and make promises based on their lack of knowledge that they are unable to keep. The employees suffer through the complaint calls and harassment from customers. This is honestly the most stressful and incredibly uncaring company I have ever worked for.
