Do I have your attention now? Ok good. The pro's I would say with this company was my coworkers. There's a special bond you create when you are all going through the trenches together. But that was about it. I really don't have anything else positive to say. They have a pretty squeaky clean Glassdoor profile because they bribed the office with a Make Your Own Soda party if they received over 100 5 - star Glassdoor reviews. The longer you look, the worse it gets. Read my review and then go back to see how fake the rest are.

Ok. I will try and make this as clear and concise as possible for the sake of not ranting. Unlimited Vacation DOES NOT MEAN Unlimited PTO: The "Unlimited Vacation" policy they boast in job descriptions really means that it's unpaid. PLEASE ask them about this in your interview. Trust me, it's unpaid. And if you are in Sales; GOOD LUCK using vacation time. They won't decrease your already insanely high quota and you will be threatened with termination when you inevitably miss your number for taking a short vacation. Also, be prepared to work on Christmas eve and NYE. Quota - For a while, the quota was 200 sales a month. Which is pretty extreme. To hit these numbers, most sales reps would work 10-12 hour days. In the winter, most reps would work weekends just to keep up. It's encouraged to never take days off and to just grind as hard as you can. Classic grounds for burnout. Hence why 1/2 of the team has quit in the last few months. Pay - I'll be honest, the commission was great. It made those long covid winter days and weekends worth the grind. However after they realized how much they overpaid sales reps, they changed the commission structure 3 times during my time there. Sadly it's not worth the physical and mental toll it takes on you. Its a pretty low $15/hour base with an added commission depending on how many sales you get. Vibe - The vibe was kinda okay. It was pretty weird working in an office in Utah County during a pandemic with no masks. The other teams are very young. Like 19-year-olds on the customer service team. So the professionalism gap is pretty big between sales and CX. Mostly everyone is fine, but if you watch some of the slack channels (utah-office) - it pretty much is just a chatroom. Pretty distracting and not very professional. They also play music in the office. Which I have never really seen before. It's not really good nor bad. Just... interesting? I swear Zedd - Clarity will just constantly haunt my dreams now after working in that office. My closing thoughts - If you are 20 years old and this is your first sales job...go for it. Grind it out, make some money. Get some experience. However, if you are somewhat seasoned in sales, it should be pretty clear to stay FAR away from this company. There are tons of awesome SaaS or Solar companies that would love to have you. I really hope this helps some of you out there!
