Toxic - Anonymous employee Magic Windows & Doors Employee Review

It reveals the reality of life.

You ride in a van with 8 other guys. One is the “boss”. They practice witchcraft on everyone in the van the whole time. Basically the guy that is second to the boss is a gay dude and they make you respect him and try to make you wear pink and prefer dudes that act effeminate as a tactic of setting an appointment. They have guys that are more pushy as well that ride in another van that are pretty cool… but the van they put me in had all the lower reps consisting of younger people on that woman spectrum and gay acting dudes. What you’ll find with this job is that you need to either act like you’re a contractor or act girly. Either put some dirt on your shirt and act like you’re the one doing the job that you are bidding and are low in status in a blue collar way… or act effeminate. The last thing the homeowner wants is an alpha male Coming to the door because it disturbs the natural order of what’s going on in the home and the police often get called. You can’t “close” on a doorstep like you can in a home. You have to either kiss their butt or act low as in blue collar. But this job will make you think low on the psychological spectrum. Are you an 18 year old baby face that can close like a man? This canvassing job is for you because clients will allow someone that is real Young to be pushy without thinking about it. It doesn’t psychosexual mess with the client when a really young person gets pushy. When someone their age and with close attraction gets pushy at the door… people scream … cops called. If you’re 30-50 you will find yourself having to kiss a lot of butt for an appointment. If you are able to be pushy at the door and have age than it’s because you are a manager and have worked there for 10 years and can talk talk talk talk about the company. It’s a turn burn… because you either sell or their witchcraft will make you quit. If you aren’t setting appointments than everyone in the van will pick on anything they can about you. They think this pushes you to succeed/change or quit. This is how they can pay a “ salary” … which isn’t even a salary really. This place won’t let you get comfortable… it’s a toxic environment where they have been practicing magic on eachother for so long that when they get a new person their fangs all come out. You better eat Arby’s like them, you better get down with whatever these people do in the van or they’ll act crazy. They’ll smoke cigarettes and blow them in your face if they don’t like you. Twice I have worked for them and both times they weren’t allowed to smoke cigarettes in the van until I started working there. They keep their vans covered with trash and especially fast food papers… children’s car seats are a norm in the van as the manager will tell you that it’s because he transports his children when off duty but actually it is their incessant attempts to make you feel like a child an make you have a “vision”. The witchcraft that they use is know to cause skitzophrenia, paranoid reactions.. etc. If you have had any mental Illnesses in the past or if you don’t understand witchcraft I don’t reccomend the position as you will be confused when they all attempt to treat you like crap/haze you. Every dude in the van is going to try to hurt you psychologically in a way that makes you walk talk and act more like they do. This place has demons. Not to mention it is a real old brand with a horrible marketing reputation. Good product but known for the knock knock. The clients all know who they are and they get chased out a lot. I’d consider renaming if I were them .

Fun! Hard work but far from boring. The Demos are cool so every Family wants the Window Systems. If you like meeting new people and like presenting Advanced Technology this is a great fit. There is a lot of learning but the Teams from Production to Installation along with Management gear employees for success. For any potential new employees, if you're willing to put in effort, it's a very rewarding job

It's sales so it comes with its usual challenges. Magic has a lot of leads so if you don't book time off you could end up working long stretches of days. As long as it's a few days notice you can book off but there is a lot of work available constantly. Higher Income require compromising work/life balance but if you're results oriented it's worth it. Cool and Calm while with customers but fast-paced internally. Everyone gets things done quickly so you gotta stay on top of things. Results oriented. If you don't perform well there's no growth for advancements.
