Premier Roofing reviews

Independent contractor and no benefits, long hours, annoying bosses. They will treat you like an employee and make you work 70+ hours a week even though your are an indendent contractor. You also have to spend everyday knocking doors 10am to 9pm and if you dont the supervisor will follow you around and make sure you are there. You have to put up with endless rejection as well. Every neighborhood they make you walk has already been hit with 10 other roofing companies. Therefore, everybody who comes to the door hates you and then it also becomes extremely hard to sell to them. The roofing industry already has a bad reputation as being "scammy", and Premier is no different. Their sales pitch is basically strong-arming people into getting something they dont necessarily need.

The Field Representative position is a 1099, commission only position. They claim it is a 6 figure position but after 30% self employment tax, you are lucky to make minimum wage. Although they boast that high performing reps sell around 100 roofs per year, in actuality, that number is closer to 50. You are also required to cover expenses out of pocket such as fuel, liability insurance, worker's comp insurance, etc. After all this is added up, you will make less than a minimum wage on salary while still working 60-70 hours per week. There would be potential for higher income but there is more holding you back The company misclassifies their reps as 1099 employees while you are treated and required to work as a W2 employee. I was mandated to work specific hours, specific locations, perform work that was unpaid for, attend unpaid meetings, attend unpaid events, and other work that was not specifically in my subcontractor contract, on a regular basis. You are also restricted as to what you can sell. The company only installs asphalt shingles under insurance claims, nothing else. They DO NOT install tile, metal, low slope, or gutters. They don't install siding, fascia, or soffit. They don't install skylights, solar tubes, or solar. This leaves a huge competitive advantage to the competition and severely restricts your ability to sell the company. As for the company future, this looks meek. They currently require insurance on their 1099 employees however, I never met a rep that actually carried the required insurance. They discount insurance claims through a paid referral process. This discounting can be seen on Google reviews where customers leave job numbers in their reviews to receive cash rebates. They also misclassify employees as 1099. These legal and ethical issues are a huge concern and liability. I doubt they make it much further when something as simple as an IRS audit could put them out of business for good. I would not recommend working for this company and am currently seeking employment elsewhere.
