Pros

The culture, managers, and co-workers are absolutely extraordinary and probably the best part of working at Power. There is ample opportunity and support/training/mentoring to make an absurd amount of money ($100K+). Also there is no need whatsoever at having prior experience or knowledge in sales or home remodeling. The training given (entire first week) is rigorous but if taken seriously, will thoroughly prepare and arm you with the necessary information and tools to VERY quickly excel at the position, resulting in considerable pay. The pay structure is really great too because: First, the base salary is a considerable amount and assured no matter how well you performed that pay period which is nice because this type of work will undoubtedly lead to an off day or week every now and knowing that you'll make enough money to cover your base expenses is very comforting. Secondly, the bonus structure, as complex as it can be, is setup in a fashion where if you meet your expected numbers early-on in the pay period then every additional increase in your performance is well compensated. And those additional numbers you put up are setup so that the more you accomplish, the resulting bonuses increase at an exponential rate meaning that if you had one pay period (2 weeks) where you performed well over expectations than you can make upwards of $6,000. Throw in all the monthly, quarterly, yearly, referral, and special promotion bonuses and you are capable of making an absolutely ridiculous amount of money.... which plenty of people do on a consistent basis. Lastly, the skills and leadership experience you acquire creates ample opportunity to move up and onward towards greater positions inside or outside the company, both of which are surprisingly encouraged and greatly assisted by those above you.

Cons

The job/industry is NOT made for everyone! 100% need to have a specific set of characteristics; probably the most important of which is mental toughness and resilience. Those above and beside you are very supportive and encouraging but ultimately you are a solicitor which is usually not a greatly welcomed position by your potential customers and the police. On a daily basis you have to deal with an outlandish amount of rejection and getting the cops called on you. The work is incredibly monotonous and results in most people hitting a wall between the 3-6 month range that takes a substantial amount of effort to push past. The opportunity to switch to different departments is available though, but the main ones available from the marketing department are scheduling or another form of sales which can become just as grueling in their routine as marketing does. Another con is that there is a slight degree of favoritism that goes on as well as some clique-iness between certain groups of people. The overwhelming majority of people in the department, or the company for that matter, are referrals so it can be extremely tough for those who start without knowing anyone. Lastly, some of the department's soliciting practices and procedures are slightly questionable; you will assuredly deal with testing your limits of what you believe is morally acceptable. Plus there tends to be a lot of minor changes made in rules and practices that can get frustrating at times. The company mostly consists of people who are 30 or younger and fresh out of college, so they somewhat-justified treat you as such meaning you can feel as though your being monitored like a child and/or have to check-in with routine messages or even selfies to make sure you're located where you're supposed to be. And finally, balancing the job and life is VERY difficult because you usually have to be at the office between 9:00 and 10:00 am in the morning and don't get back to the office until 8:30 to 9:30 pm at night. So by the time you get home you barely have the time let alone the willingness to do anything else with your day. The biggest downside though really is the actual work and lack of pride that can be commonly associated with soliciting, which is ultimately subjective hence the "not for everyone" warning.

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.
