You are typically given a near impossible schedule with each appointment lasting an hour, regardless of the vehicle and some take far longer, not to mention you can barely get the job done in 1 hour, and that's rushing it. They advertise max  or 5 appointments a day but will throw 8 without even asking. Having the need to sleep, urinate or eat is not even considered when making a your schedule. They say they wont bother you on days you put as unavailable but absolutely will.

 They provide very little training, just a folder of videos on a google drive with SOME of the vehicles you could work on.  Battery failures are incredibly common and each battery is labeled with who made it, so you know ahead of time how likely it is to fail. Expect to be on a first name basis with customers. Also their pay structure is dumb, no reason it cant be on  a flat pay +miles and is instead some weird "travel" time pay that is the speed of travel at midnight, and not when you are actually doing the appointment. They have also recently included a new way to try to get out of the warranties they sell but don't tell the customers about it and leave it up to the installer. They really like to blur the line between contractor and employee and tend to forget we are contractors.

Overall pay was ok, sometimes really good, like 40 sometimes as low as 12 an hour. The work is fine but the expectations from management are ridiculous everyone working there not involved in management is on the fringe of leaving, hanging on to the fact that sometimes pay is good and you can take off whenever you want. Lower management that works remote seems incredibly busy and tend to disappear and be replaced all the time, recently a lot of upper also left and middle jumped up so from the field appears to be a sinking ship.

I love working at Green Bean Battery because I love people and we get to help them. When a person's hybrid battery is going out it's a stressful situation, they don't know who they can turn to and trust. We can turn that stressful situation into a solution and relationship that will last for years. 

Green Bean is like a second family to me and the support and encouragement I've gotten since starting has been so much more than I ever could have asked for. I feel like this has led me to develop professionally and also helped me work toward my goals in my personal life as well. I know a lot of sales positions are very stressful but we work as a team and challenge each other to grow and learn. 

I am continually trying to improve my knowledge, sales and customer service skill and I love that if I make a mistake we talk about what I can do to improve instead of just focusing on the error. We truly operate as a team.

I generally liked my Job there. The work was repetitive but we got to mix it up and do different things on different days. There's a Safety culture met expectations. I learned a great deal in training and developed cool skills. Workplace culture and middle management are where my complaints rest. I cant disclose personally identifiable information or specifics surrounding my dutys, but interactions between general staff and management are strenuous and intense. The relationship was very adversarial and not what I would expect from a small battery company. I hope changes where made after I left to improve the situation. 

The working conditions in the warehouse are terrible. The air is filled with heavy metals and automotive dust with very little in the way of ventilation. The temperatures in the warehouse can exceed 90 degrees during the day. Most of the electrical wiring and conduit is jury rigged by non licensed people who are not electricians. live wires sit exposed in electrical boxes. battery modules regularly explode, and there are no safety procedures or guidelines in place. Management is fully aware of all of these problems and purposefully chooses to do nothing about it to save money. If you value your mental and physical health, avoid working here

The job is just that - a job - so you have to do work.  But the great part is that is it actually a small company even though it has some of the perks and feeling of a big company.  Also they actually find ways to promote/elevate people even though they are so small.  I have watched new positions be created to give people more responsibility and of course the resulting increases in pay.
I would say if you want to work hard in a competitive and nothing for free kind of place - this is a great place to work.  Top management is a little distant, but I think it mostly works better that way.  Everybody has direct access to their immediate supervisor with no problem.

I have only been working with Green Bean Battery for about 3 months, but I am very happy with my decision to join their team! The staff and management have been very welcoming and helpful as I learned the ropes. I enjoy the no-drama, friendly, team-oriented atmosphere and the ability to work remote. The position does require a great deal of information to be learned quickly and a great eye for detail and the ability to multi-task is essential to be successful. 

The product and service  Green Bean delivers to the customer is above all others and is a pleasure to correspond with people that see the huge value proposition in such. It is really nice to feel appreciated by the customers you are enacting with.

The job itself is what I was looking for and can finally say "I enjoy going to work each day". I never thought that was realization, but love the work and schedule flexibility that Green Bean allows for their contractors.

This is strictly a part-time contract job. They will use you when they need you. The pay is very inconsistent as is to work. They consider you contract labor, but you do not have the freedom to bid for each job. After you take out gas and travel expenses, and wear and tear on your vehicle, the compensation is just not worth it.

Everything is great when you start . But multiple layoffs weekly and warehouses shutting down is not a good sign . We already can’t help our customers when getting batteries for them. Employees are scared to stay with everything going on. I think we have loss 6-10 employees in less then 2 months. Scary right ? 

Green Bean Battery has grown to be a wonderful company to work for. All employees are treated fairly, with very clear set expectations for what you need to be doing day to day. There are plenty of opportunities to move up in the company as long as you're consistently working hard. The best part of the job is the workplace culture. Management and other employees are all super easy to work with.
