If you want to know my experience in the Rock Hill area, keep reading. My role was to go door to door and set appointments. Super simple and not very difficult. You get 50% of the commission from the sale if it closes. New bonus structures were developing to keep people hungry for appointments. That part was pretty cool. When I first started, things were all over the place. Changes every single week and the job had shifted far from what was agreed to in the interview. The biggest thing that turned me off was that after a month in, we were told that if we quit before the installation (which could be 2 months out), we will not get paid for it. This is a slimy and dirty tactic used to keep people on board. I take what I say next very seriously and not to offend the people I worked for; great sales people do not always make great managers. I say this because the many times I have been around management, I was talked to like I was talking to a sales person, not a manager. I, like many people, can see right through it and found it quite disgusting. Don't get me wrong, these are not bad people. As a matter of fact, they can be very fun to be around, however, these are not the people that should be in a management role. This is a 1099 position and it seems as if they treat you like an employee, which is fraudulent. 

Overall, the flexibility is there, the pay is there, and if you can wake up and try hard the next day no matter what, you'll make a load of money. 

The first company core value listed is “People First.” This isn’t something on printed to make you feel good, it’s a cornerstone of the culture. If you want to work hard, do things right, be surrounded by high level people, and feel like everyone wants you to support you, this is a great place to grow and make real money while doing it. Another core value at G3 is “we win as a team.”  Within the sales side of the organization, anyone at any level, could reach out for help from anyone else, and receive that help. I won’t say it’s an “easy” place to work. If you don’t really want to work that much and aren’t interested in realizing your potential, this probably isn’t the place for you. I don’t mean to paint a perfect picture. There are always going to be bumps in the road and people who just aren’t your cup of tea. I can say that I do love where I work, who I work with, and the ability to make tangible positive change in the world. 

This is the best job I've ever had. Leadership from my manager to the owner is great. The manager in my market, is the best leader I have ever been around. He works hard and expects a lot, but also cares a lot about me as a person. We do trainings on solar, investing, health, mindset, etc. The culture is fun, but we expect excellence from each other. We are the top office in the company which is really fun to be around. Everyone on the team cares about the team's success. Training is great. You can make money very quickly after starting. 

I started with no solar experience, and had no trouble learning. It is a pretty simple sales process. They provide leads as long as you have a good closing percentage.

This job is not right for everyone because you have to deal with a lot of rejection and no shows, but the people who stick with it make a very very good income. Most of the team has been here since the office opened. If you are coachable, a problem solver, and hard worker you will do well.

After minimal training you are sent to “appointments” all over Ohio. Where the people aren’t home or tell you they never scheduled an appointment or canceled it because they unknowingly signed up for one online looking for a free quote. You are told to handle there credit check and approval of a 50k loan as a “solar application” a lot of customers cancel once finding out they signed for a 50k loan. You are told to prospect your own leads via door to door, seeing how the “appointments” are 1 out of 15 it is mostly door knocking. Driving for hours just to knock doors. I didn’t sign up for door to door but that’s what it turned out to be. Very misleading and horrible training on their software. A hire anyone style company whose turnover rate is astronomical. Only job I’ve ever had where I actually lost money. 

The culture on the sales team is awesome. It’s really supportive, but no one babies you. If you’re a complainer or not good at problem solving then you won’t do well here. If you’re coachable, have a good attitude and effort then you’ll do great. 

My manager is excellent. He’s experienced in solar sales, but is also a really good overall leader. We do 1 on 1s and a lot of self development. The executive team is involved and very people oriented. You can tell everyone in leadership cares. 

The amount of money being made here surprised me. There are reps making 60k+ per month. Decent reps make 20-30/month. It sells itself for the most part. Training is great and ongoing. 

The G3 culture is positive, fun, and exciting. I am surrounded by like-minded individuals on a growth path. G3 promotes from within, so I know that my hard work and dedication is seen, heard, and appreciated. The upper management works diligently with the offices to make all processes as smooth as possible. On top of everything, every single person is customer-obsessed so I know that the people I help out on a day to day basis will be taken care of through all processes. It's easy to be passionate about work when you have a company you can get behind and a fun work environment.

The culture here is phenomenal, I've never worked for a company with such a genuine drive to foster an amazing culture that supports and uplifts their team. They actually care about your success. Working here has already changed my life. There is so much opportunity. As long as you are humble, hungry and have a willingness to learn... you will be provided with all of the tools needed to succeed and you'll be unstoppable. 

The culture was good to let you succeed, but they wanted people to be good at there job to quickly and it became to hard to comprehend all the stuff the job had to offer.
You can make some serious cash doing this stuff but you gotta work hard and it's no guarantee, plus your a 1099 employee 

As far as culture and coworkers everyone is great however this is a door knock job most people want nothing to do with you nor do they have any interest to hear you pitch because they have been absolutely bombarded with other sales reps I received little to no training I didn’t receive any any company appeal on my first day which makes it hard to sell because most people assume your scamming you do get a lot of freedom to create you own schedule I feel they do a lot to sell you on all the pros of the company however once you start your on your own 

G3 is a great place to work for anybody who’s tired of a 9-5 job. 
This job has completely changed my life and helped me become who I am today! 
If you work hard and put in the effort it’s super easy to make a bunch of money and to advance in the company
Everybody in the office is super cool and the culture is the best in the country.
