Residential Mass Market Sales is a challenging and rewarding job for a leader in the industry.
Pros
Great management and sales team. New sales rep are offered a base plus commissions (as opposed to the 100% comm plan I was on) and a new mileage reimbursement program. They provide several lead generating options and tools.
Cons
A lot of wear and tear on personal vehicle commuting 2000-3000 miles per month. Mileage reimbursement program is still inadequate although you can claim the deficiency on your year end taxes. Personal interaction with customers in their homes can present your own personal safety issues. If you do 401k company matching, you must remain with company for at least three years or the company contribution is retracted. Expect 12 hour days, 6 days a week to be successful. You need to do most of your work when people are home, evenings and weekends.
