Pros

Chill leadership, you pretty much work your own time. Good work ethics. Cool environment. Annual cruises if you can make the cut.

Cons

Where do I even begin? I'm going to be straight up with everyone because I got mislead from the beginning. They promise huge paychecks and nice cars and retiring early, and cruises. In reality, only the rich get richer. Only the few that have been there since day 1 actually make any money. Don't plan on getting paid for at least TWO (2) months after you start. I started in the beginning of April and didn't get paid until the END of March. On that note, on one of my deals,(the biggest one) I was encouraged to reduce the customers energy rate to secure the deal, at a cost/cut to MY commission. The company does not eat any costs, it all comes out of your pay. You're only in the office for an hour before you go out, and an hour after you come back. You drive around ALL day, for someone like me, living outside the city, I could easily drive 60-100 miles a day. I was filling up my tank twice. You go door to door to door to door constantly getting told "No" because lets face it, nobody likes door to door salesmen. They want you to hit like 50+ doors a day and go BACK to them if there are any promises. You get paid the END of the next month. So IF you make sales in August, you don't get paid until the END of September, and only half what they REALLY owe you. The other half comes in residually a few years later. I started with a group of about 10 people, mostly younger, out of college, and after 2 weeks, only myself and 1 other were left. I mean, they didn't even pay for training so lets be honest. After a month, none of us were left. Even someone who had been there over a year, got fed up and left. You would honestly have better stability at McDonalds or a grocery store. BE WARNED.

Pros

Lots of room for real returns on your work. Lot's of bonus potential, like monthly competitions and good commission. Supportive and welcoming colleagues, and easy access to higher-ups. Great exposure to sales and the broader energy market, teaches you a lot.

Cons

Commission is a double-edged sword, with no medical benefits/retirement. NOT FOR EVERYONE, you definitely need to be able to brush stuff off and keep your head up. A lot of driving, of course thats dependent on your commute, but you can be placed in areas across the whole of DFW, and I assume it's the same for Houston. B2B, and D2D, can definitely wear on you and some business owners are more receptive than others.
