CHIPR

Dont work here. This company promises the world but does not train you or help you reach it.  They throw you to the wolves.  Tell you it's on you to become good.  There are people making good money but the company has really bad training and management who can't sell on the doors or lack the experience in door to door sales themselves. Including the vp of sales who couldn't sell one while visiting.  They promise warm leads and 1 week on one week off. The leads are horrible.  Sold more on my own leads then theors. It's commission only and it's not easy to hit targets.  High turnover because they don't have a base salary or a training and support system.  Your actual manager doesn't have time to train because they have to sell as much as you in their own territory.  I've been with the company for 2 months and only see the same people selling.  They expect you to be up for video meetings at 8.  Another meeting at 11 and then knock doors until 8 or 9 pm.  Don't take this job unless you like and are good at door to door sales.  Don't expect any traing except over zoom.  And a half day shadowing before they send you on your way.  I'm seasoned in sales and management and feel like they set me up for failure in a type of sales I've never been in. Took me a month to get paid a $1500 commission they don't communicate pay, pay days, how it breaks down or the draw pay.  If you don't know what draw pay is look it up.  It suck and is their way of paying you as little as possible.  I have lost money working this job.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Newer company always changing commission structure. No hourly pay only commission. Very supportive atmosphere, but you take the risk that you are terrible at sales. Only attempt this if you do not have financial difficulty. Great pay if you can make the sales very short hours and a very family like camaraderie. If you can make sales, you will defeat the matrix And live a life that  allows for someone who needs to survive in the new cost-of-living economy

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Door-to-door sales is notoriously challenging mentally. You have to let negative people roll off your back and realize it is not personal. Also other door-to-door  companies like Solar and roofing wreck your territory and no one answers the door thinking you are one of the more pushy salesman

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I have to say that the environment and culture is unsurpassed in the sense that everyone supports each other and roots for each other’s success. I happen to like every single one of my coworkers which has never happened before.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
There is a lot of driving involved. Can you go to a meeting which you are not paid for then go knock doors until you get 2 to 3 sales at the very least which isn’t hard to do then go home and wait for a big paycheck after the week is over.

So my honest assessment is it sounds good when you interview, but if it's to good to be true it probably is. They lured me in with working 6 days and off 8. Not true. I never had 8 days off in a row. They still expect you to work on your off week especially if your numbers are low or in my case I had to train people. Blitz week, which is the week you work, you start at 10 in the office for a meeting to role play and train, out in the field by 1, and don't get done knocking doors until 8:30-9 at night on the weekdays, but work 10-3 on Saturday.  People get very upset when you knock on their door past 8.  The pay is terrible and 100% commission. I was there about a month and when I left I was 44 out of 187 employees. That amounts to being in the top 25% of the company. In the month I worked there I made $765. No one can live off that.  There are people there making good money, but if you are in the top 25% not making money that to me says something about the company. You have to be in the top 10% to even have a chance of making anything.  On top of that the insurance for a family is expensive. Over 1600 for everything is way to much. However the people were great and are very dedicated to their job. Very supportive, but all the support in the world won't pay your bills.

Although this is the company that got me interested in sales, I can't see myself going back with what was going on when I left. My experience at Chipr for the first two weeks I would say made me stay, the perfect environment for me to learn the process and know what to say learning from my coworkers who had prior experience to sales. If it were not for my coworkers, I would've left much sooner. I did not receive any training from any of my managers and the atmosphere and leadership from my area manager was arguably the reason I left. I still enjoy sales and wish to peruse other companies path to this skillset, but Chipr lacked the key resources I needed to succeed.

Bottom line is, if you want to spend countless hours knocking doors with the hopes of getting a promotion, an amazing skillset, and a good salary, prepare for the worst and a migraine along the way. Would not recommend. 

Very high upside and weekly potential to make absolute bank. Full transparency with employees, active leadership and i mean very active from the top of the top to the bottom. We hear from the ceo every tuesday on a zoom call. We check in with coworkers, etc. 

Only downside, and this pretty much evens out everything I just said - you have to be good at selling. Its not a numbers game, you only get so many leads at once, you cant just go knock 800 doors, your expected to knock the same 40-50 doors for an entire week. on the brightside, if you can get 7 sales a week, your making 4,000 a month. If you suck like I do, or get placed in all spanish speaking neighborhoods and dont know spanish like I unfortunately have been, then your going to make closer to 1800 a month. not much in between. Youre either making a grip of money, or pretty much none.

However, the leadership really does truly try their best to get you to that selling machine level, they dont just throw you to the wolves, most the time. 

The owner is probably the worst business leader I have ever encountered. They expect way to much of their employees and give them very little in return. They promise the world to get you to sell for them but are way too demanding. My mental health absolutely plummeted working for these guys. One of their core values they repeat in all their meetings is integrity and honesty, like what? If that's something you have to constantly remind yourself to do you have some big problems. Low trust at this place. Be careful if you're looking to work here. Its also quite the gentleman's club, don't expect to grow much here unless your somehow connected to the owners family or if he takes a special liking to you. Don't work here unless you enjoy the feeling of being expendable and not having clear expectations of what you're supposed to do. Probably the worst job I've ever had. I'm so happy that I left.

I've always said that job culture will make or break a job, no matter the work you're doing.

The work culture here kills. My Supervisor called me my first month to tell me I've been doing a good job and gave me a bonus. My manager is always there for support, questions, and encouragement.

My entire team wants to help me succeed, is so encouraging, and is always there to help me overcome obstacles.

This company is always evolving, trying to improve, and they really do care about their employees because they believe if they take care of their people, they'll take care of the customer.

And the financial opportunity is unmatched. If you can stick it out and remember that this is a SKILL that builds character, and just stick it out, you'll love it.

Never been more inspired to work harder.

Each day I begin reviewing any scheduled conference calls.

I meet with my team in person and virtually each week prior to heading out in the field.
Expectations for my role are to develop and train my team as well as meet sales goals. (My goals are the same as each member of my team).

Since I’ve started, I feel my voice has been heard with any business opportunities with both Chip’r Leaders and Lumen. There’s been change made gradually for the better and I know that Leaders at the highest level are always looking at next steps for what’s best for the front-line.  

Pay and training in my opinion are the 2 areas of opportunity. No paid training.
Be prepared to start making decent pay after building your pipe-line as this role is commission w/bonus only. No salary or hrly pay included.



During my tenure at Chipr, I had the opportunity to experience the company's commendable culture firsthand. However, it is with a sense of responsibility that I must share my observations regarding the director overseeing our department. Regrettably, their leadership style did not align with the company's positive ethos. There were instances of engaging in discussions that were counterproductive, failing to provide effective guidance, and causing a noticeable erosion of confidence among my colleagues and myself as sales professionals. It is my belief that, absent these challenges, my continued presence at Chipr would have been assured.

This is door-to-door sales, cold calling and knocking on people's doors to try to sell them internet or other home services. They sell you on this "golden opportunity of growth and advancement based on merit" but it's just a cult-like sales organization like an MLM.  In reality you will be working 10-12 hour days with no guaranteed hourly pay or salary, and while some people do perform and make sales, if you do not make sales you are ignored and not taught how to be better.  It was a good experience to say "I did it" however do not buy the dream management tries to sell you while they pretend to care about you.
