Pros

Perks: No lunches, no real substantive trainings (Repeating yourself weekly telling people about the sundown rule that no managers follow, speed to lead - when you have little to no leads weekly, and regurgitating the same words weekly does nobody any good and makes management look weak, uninformed of how real sales ventures operate, and almost lackadaisical to the degree of repetition weekly on calls (monthly too) You'll notice the same dozen or so people in each region, whom are catered to by the company as top earners. Everyone else is fodder, unless you can prove to tap into your local market (By using your own free time to quote, respond to facebook messages, craigslist ads (that they teach you to do) and other apps/ website to post about the product - seems marketing should market, instead of having sales do the marketing.)

Cons

Two plus years. Presidents club. over 2 million in sales, 50+ reviews for the company and I was let go out of the blue. Aside from the company requiring you to illegitimately use your own Facebook page (Not in job description.) To run their marketing for you. If you don't you're heavily scrutinized and basically harassed into doing it (If you don't, you'll face micro aggressions, and find that you are not a priority in the support department, even if you are a top earner) Wait, it gets better!.. You can even report managers for their wrongdoings, and the internal HR process will surely make you feel like nothing is being done (even when you report management for harassment and unprofessional behavior! Anyway, if you prefer to be lied to, work terrible hours in a setting where you'll get little support to actually grow properly, then this is the place for you. So you'll be required to: -Sell 1 Mill in sales(whether your tech savvy, in a good area, or not) -2 reviews on google monthly (They don't enforce this across the board- only to people that aren't top performers) -2 cold leads generated daily (you're expected to do lead generation, marketing, and go to events which is not in the job description posted for the past several years) -they look for a conversion rate of roughly 50% ... -Most of the people there know that the company is a bit of a sham and many stay hoping that they will cut ties with home depot but it will likely be the opposite since the home depot sales keep the company in business. If you want your product built on site by a company who subs all their work out, choose Tuff Shed.

Pros

- Easy product to sell - Competition truly does not compete with quality - Employee owned company (ESOP is earned every year, it’s free money) - True sense of purpose. It’s a job where you don’t realize how much of an impact you’re making until you realize EVERYONE has a shed - Pay is good, you can make more than you would think. - Atmosphere is great, management is easily accessible and can help answer questions. Getting information isn’t a problem.

Cons

Stores are open 7 days a week, your schedule will fluctuate and weekends is a must. Great for your wallet, bad if you like having a standard Monday - Friday.
