Brightside Home Solutions

I have worked for Brightside for almost 3 years at this point (setting, closing and managing)...I've faced plenty ups and downs with the company, but ultimately I've stayed because I know it has been able to provide me a chance to make much more than just a low hourly wage, and there are elements of the job that I find satisfying.

However,  I know the point of reading any of these reviews is to understand what your role is here and if the company is even worth it to join and stay in. So I'll summarize it here:

WE KNOCK DOORS and make a great living doing it. But its certainly hard. A lot of people that are new to a sales role don't realize that. They go head first to try and do a good job, but they overthink it, get frustrated and then feel defeated when they don't find success quickly (some people still do find success quickly, as we have had a fair percentage of people find their first sale in their first week).

But most of it is a numbers game (how many conversations you're getting in that will eventually land you an appointment to net you a commission). But you gotta follow the system and do it with well-collected confidence. The system we have simply utilizes a script and a neighborhood we assign you to work with, and then just talking to people.  You ARE going to face rejection plenty of the time, but the idea is to just pursue the "yes." You can even think like X number of "no's" will help you find a "yes."

This is really a "eat what you kill" opportunity. It's much different than working an hourly job in customer service, and I see a number of new people come in and not realize they wont be just handed a cushiony wage to do minimal effort like they always have. You get an opportunity to proactively find financial success. Be here to win, and not accept loss as an option.

A positive that I appreciate is that a number of Brightside offices utilize a fun Prize Wheel to praise and support even small and big wins on a daily basis. Also, once a month every office does a team activity to build positive culture. There is also daily training and script practice to keep people sharp.

It's up to you if you feel like working here is something you wan't to pursue, but take note that you'll be here to be working for your own wins.

Start of the day is a Quick meeting 5 days a week where training/just brief recap of everyone’s previous work day.

Work culture:Everyone is striving to be better then they were the day before and if you can take the true constructive criticism and own up to your own weaknesses you can grow and learn at honestly an unprecedented rate.

Between management and the lowest level guys I’m gonna say there’s very little separation of course the higher up in management the more number focused it gets but I’ve personally had conversations with the ceo and coo of the company and I’ve only worked there for 4 months I’ve worked places for years and didn’t even know the owners name.

The hardest part of the job is the fact that we are open to everyone that wants to join us your 18 with low social skills okay we will get you up too speed but you gotta put in the time effort and energy that all of us put into you 2nd hardest part is the fact it’s a outside job your gonna be going out in all weather conditions (to a point we are still understanding of safety hazards) so if it’s cold layer up be smart about it don’t make your day harder then it has to be.

Most enjoyable part of the job is getting that person that really honestly needs our service and being able to surprise them with discounts and quick and effective service…the money doesn’t hurt either this job is entirely what you put in you get out of your wanna do the bare minimum theres plenty of factory jobs that after 5-10 years you could earn a decent living… but…if you want the chance to prove to yourself you have determination as we like to say grit and over time develop a skill that is going to improve your personal and professional life and make more money then you’ve ever made in a single year in half maybe a quarter of that time then join Brightside Windows it’s been a crazy ride for me and my family but I’m glad everyday I get to be apart of this team.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working at Brightside is life changing and the experience is one I would never take back. You are able to have a more flexible schedule, create time for your family while also being in complete control of how much money earning potential you are wanting to achieve. The family unit and extra mile is shown daily with actions that you will never see with other companies. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It’s a newer company.. still working out the kinks. Random changes that you have to adapt to randomly. It’s tough if you aren’t accustomed to change. Sometimes information falls through the cracks but you just have to realize the bigger picture.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture is very upbeat and innovative. There are constant growth opportunities and learning tools. There are several steps to reach your goals and guidance along the journey. Again, it’s a family atmosphere that is very unheard of elsewhere. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It is what I make it. Little chaotic at times but that provides excitement to your typical 9-5. It’s ever changing and you are partially in control of the atmosphere you choose.
If You want to earn more money you are able to go out and find leads and make what you want to out of the experience.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part is the people and the pace of the work. There’s always something going on, which keeps you engaged. It’s a great environment if you like staying busy and being part of a team working toward the same goals. Everyone is driven, and there’s a strong sense of accountability, which helps keep things moving in the right direction.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part can be keeping up with everything during busy periods, but having a strong team makes it manageable.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is fast-paced and driven, with a strong focus on accountability and teamwork. The culture is electric—people bring a lot of energy, work hard, and support each other along the way.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is behind the computer, handling things such as payroll, onboarding new hires, contracts, and other administrative and financial tasks. It’s very detail-oriented and focused on keeping everything organized and running smoothly.

Over the course of working for Brightside, I set several appointments in the month that I worked there. When I started, there were maybe 5 people on the team, total, who had all worked there for less than less than three months. Every week there was a round of new hires and once to twice a week they would shadow anyone who had been through the 3 day training. One day, in the middle of having a new employee shadow me, I got a phone call from the manager saying he just got out of a meeting and he has to let several people go. He said I would still get paid for the day. I didn’t. Nor did I receive the pay for the other day I worked that week.  They will have you travel without reimbursement. My suggestion would be to avoid this job, as they will hire anybody that interviews and fire most of them. They treat you like you’re important but don’t let that fool you. They do not care about you. The week before, during a 1 on 1 meeting with the boss, I told him about my future plans and he said I would always be welcome back if things didn’t pan out. I seriously doubt that. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The Personal and Financial reward along with the team environment. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Handling rejection day after day while staying consistent and keeping your energy up.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast-paced, competitive, and team-driven. There’s a strong sense of camaraderie, and everyone pushes each other to improve, but it also comes with high expectations and accountability.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fast-paced and structured around performance. The day usually starts with a team meeting or training, then it’s straight into knocking doors, having conversations, and setting appointments. A lot of time is spent staying mentally sharp, handling rejection, and keeping energy high. Every day is a mix of challenges, small wins, and opportunities to improve.

This is a very fast growing company that still has a ways to go to create a business model that makes sense. A lot of complaints from home owners via phone would come in daily about how the reps would knock on doors with "no solicitation" signs and how the reps didn't have any kind of identification on them showing that they represented the company. VERY MUCH AN AT WILL COMPANY.  Work environment is good but unstructured and chaotic. Very little guidance from management as to what your role is and what you do. Be prepared to pay up front for all licensing that is needed, but you will get reimbursement for later. Good company to work for, just very unstructured and unorganized. 

Brightside was a great opportunity, until they fired me after two weeks of work, one of which was my training week, because they “needed space in the company” even though they had previously hired TEN NEW PEOPLE and proceeded to fire nearly all of them, plus at least ten other people in the office, NONE of whom worked there for more than two months. I was also told I would get bonuses for the same day and next day appointments I set, only to tell me the next week “you only get them if they sell” even though that’s NOT WHAT THEY TOLD US. DO NOT WORK HERE. THEY GIVE FALSE PROMISES AND WILL FIRE YOU FOR NO REASON. 

I started with Zero experience in sales , The managers and team I have are so welcoming and helpful . I learned  how to socialize and take good criticisms pushed me to make many accomplishments In the little time that I am here . Super open work environment, they are no limits to how much you earn . They are supportive and understanding of your life situations . Without a doubt would recommend to anyone to give it a try ! I love everything about  my job coming in and meeting my team to Training new employees &&Knocking on doors interacting with homeowners making a huge impact in their lives To Also making sells and Making money ! 

Working at Brightside Windows has been an incredible experience. The leadership team here is honestly one of the best parts. They’re so helpful, supportive, and genuinely motivating. They truly want to see you succeed and are always there to guide you when you need it, which makes such a difference.

What I love most is how much room there is for growth. If you’re willing to put in the effort, the opportunities to move up and make great money are amazing. Plus, the products are high-quality and practically sell themselves, which makes the job even more rewarding.

I would absolutely recommend Brightside Windows to anyone looking for a place to grow their career. It’s been such a positive experience for me, and I’m so glad to be a part of the team!
