Pros
Potential to earn a lot of money. Overtime is always available This is a very easy sales job in terms of difficulty. You talk to mostly warm leads all day in an air conditioned room making more than many people with degrees.
Cons
At the end of the day the day you are just another number. You can be a top preforming rep or the worst and nobody will care if you get fired or leave. They have already hired your replacement before you have left. Your entire family could have just died and you have a bad week in conversion and you'll get in trouble (this isn't an exaggeration). I have been at vivint for around 2 years and in the time i have been here the turnover rate has always been around 100%. One month ago I had 10 people on my row, now I have 3. Of course when the next training class comes through we will have more people again. They hire about 30 new people every training class to replace all of the fall of people getting fired and quitting. Culture is among the worst i have ever experienced in my career and it’s a dog eat dog world. You can talk to a customer for an hour and get disconnected on payment, the customer will call back in to finish giving their card number and whoever picks up the phone get full commission for the account. Nearly everyone steals accounts from each other and you can lose a lot of sales due to someone calling your customer, pretending to be your manager and offering a better deal. If you like vacations don't work here. Not only are you losing your pipeline because you can’t sale while you are gone and only getting paid 8 dollars an hour, but you’re also making it highly likely you don't get paid in the future. They have an install minimum they don't advertise. If you don't hit the required number of installs for the pay period you can go from making 2,000+(minimum of 2k, you could lose more) dollars to 300 after taxes because you were one install short of the arbitrary number. There are no exceptions to this rule. It’s not too hard to hit if you are working your scheduled hours but becomes a problem if you're sick or on vacation. Even the sales that you have scheduled for install are not safe. A door to door sales rep can switch the sale into their name with no repercussions at will and there's nothing you can do about it.
