It was a learning experience - Sales Representative Solmentum Employee Review

Challenging work environment that compensates well

Learning new products , processes more challenging than it should be.

- great sales training, albeit a bit inefficient - young people to work with

- You make $500 after two weeks, no commission on sales until after your third deal closes, and another $500 after your third live deal closes, then after that, you are onto the full time employee salary plan with an actual base salary + bonus + commissions. No gas reimbursement. So basically, during the training period, you are either losing money or using your "salary" to pay for gas. It is very hard to close three deals because of credit requirements, roof compatibility, etc. Some people have been in training for over 1 month. - Shady pay practice. Your $500 payable after two weeks does not get to your account until week 4, even when you applied for direct deposit on the very first day of work. They don't need to calculate anything if it's a flat $500, so why does it take so long? - When things don't work out, it is always your fault - not because of the fact that selling door to door is no longer effective since people are jaded, and this is not the 50s anymore, or because of the fact that many of your competitors are doing the same thing and people are tired of answering the door, or because of the fact that sometimes the contract you are given to close on is not a good deal for the customer. - When you have doubts about your job or how the company does business, it is all "head trash" and nothing negative is ever based on reality. - If you want good sales experience, go to a temp agency and try on some sales positions that will pay you an hourly, or just get a sales job part time. Don't risk your finances by working for this company. - Burn and churn. Most people leave within 4 weeks, so that is why they are always hiring.
