Kinetic Solar

100% a door to door sales job. It’s an easy job but there’s underlying problems within the company itself. They won’t tell you it’s door to door until the day after you’re training that you’re going to knock on doors. They will fill your head with the “potential goal”. They only highlight their top performers.  Favoritism is big here. The moment you have an off day in numbers - except their next meeting to be an indirect dig at you. They expect you to sell your soul to the company & if you don’t you’re considered “cancerous” and they will tell other people in the company not to associate themselves w/ you. They flip back and forth on focusing on either quality or quantity. Very little professional experience. A typical day is at the office, listening to one of the 6 lessons that you heard already for about an hour and some change,  occasionally you’ll have a captions and up meeting which is about 5-10 minutes, then everyone piles in your personal car and you drive 30 plus minutes up the highway to a random neighborhood and drop everyone off, you’ll solicit people, trying to make them buy solar. Then you’ll pick everyone back up for a lunch. Then you’ll have about 2 hours to yourself to knock doors before having to pick everyone back up. Go back down the highway another 30 minutes to drop everyone off and you finally get to go home.  Its only good pay if you stay solo. The second they pile new hires and people on you, you get less of an opportunity. There’s a big uncertainty on what your paycheck will be come Thursday night, part of the reason is they rarely send reports out. They keep a lot of things hidden. Zero transparency. The most enjoyable part was the coworkers (all of which are not there anymore after they saw the downfall) Their turnover rate is extremely high. I’ve seen so many people come & go in my time being there. At one point there were only about 5 reps in total (before, the room was filled w/ 30+ people)

Door to Door Sales isn't for everyone. I've been here for nearly a year, and I've seen more people leave than I can count. 

They will happily train any all who apply, regardless of prior sales experience. While I commend the leadership staff for the wealth of knowledge they provide, the promotional path to management feels almost impossible due to the many challenges faced on the job which often results in most recruits not advancing past their orientation. The office culture is solid and there is rarely an instance where you'll have a issue with any co-workers, although they do have clear favorite performers amongst the representatives. The competitive nature of your daily tasks can definitely feel draining after some time.

The commission pay is 100% based on how lucky you are, no matter how confident you were in the quality/quantity of your work from the previous week. There will be weeks where you either feel great about a check and/or weeks where you may have an emotional breakdown due to potential lack of income. The lack of employee benefits also doesn't inspire much confidence for long term stability, unless you receive multiple promotions.

Overall, this is a very high risk-high reward position for those looking for potentially large swells of weekly checks. However, the overwhelming grind mindset needed to climb through their ranks just to achieve basic employee benefits at management level may be a deterrent for those looking for more secure career opportunities.

Daily Office competition payouts are calculated in yearly expected income. $35,000 is the expected yearly income outside of daily competitive payouts which range from cash incentives of $10 to $20. Career growth offered as an outline to become franchise owner of similar business model. Competitive sales environment amongst understaffed sales personnel appears to create a trial by fire work environment. Zero training or guidance to perform to success rate expected from supervising team.

Despite having no prior sales experience, they trained me really well with the knowledge and skills to effectively communicate with potential customers and generate high quality leads. I was a pretty introverted person coming in but with their comprehensive training and support they've enabled me to confidently engage with homeowners. The work environment here is the best part about the job. We're like one big family here and we take care of each other making sure everyone's doing well. 

Great management here who always pushes you to be your best, and also from your co workers as well. Positive, goal oriented atmosphere which makes you want to succeed and see your coworkers succeed as well. Highly recommend place of employment. 

I have spent that last two years with this company and it has been the best job I've ever had. I went from the lowest position in the company to a management position within the first year. The business trained me from nothing which allowed me to build myself into a career that has launched my life into the stratosphere. 

Got the job and got goals to hit to move up and grow in the company. Ive been here for 2 months and already got my first promotion! Looking forward to growing with the company into management and the new markets opening are really exciting. 

I’ve worked my way through the ranks. Started as a lead generator, then direct sales, now currently a lead consultant. The growth model explained is exceptional. The company culture is second to none. Great people with growth mindsets. I wish I would’ve started earlier!! 

I had a really great experience here. Coworkers were friendly and even though it was a door-to-door role, there was training available to help people get better. 

One con I'd say is that sometimes communication about the commission was lackluster at times, but asides that it was good.

Kinetic has been the most rewarding career I have ever had. The staff is always helpful and the management team is top tier when it comes to support and leadership. I'm very lucky to have found this opportunity with such a great company
