MLM Home Improvement

Marketers and Sales Consultants are consistently treated as second-class employees rather than valued contributors. Upper management appears to believe that more meetings will solve systemic issues, but this only adds unnecessary pressure—especially when paired with low pay, unclear expectations, and constantly shifting policies. These conditions drive talented consultants away, yet leadership prefers repeatedly training new hires instead of investing in the people they already have. That alone speaks volumes about their lack of loyalty.
Although the company presents itself as a “second-chance” employer, its actions often contradict that claim. Accountability is virtually nonexistent at the upper-management level; problems are routinely pushed down the chain instead of addressed where they begin.
One of the few bright spots is the camaraderie among the Sales Consultants and Marketing team. The Sales Manager, in particular, is supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in the team’s success. Unfortunately, even the positive team culture feels stifled by management’s attempts to control or limit it.
Overall, the work environment shows promise at the peer level, but it’s overshadowed by leadership decisions that make long-term growth and job satisfaction difficult.
Upper Management wastes lots of funds: on trips (basically for them and a very select few) annual quarterly events that mean nothing other than lower pay for the consultants and marketers. 
The reputation of MLM is not great amongst the insurance adjusters and companies in the DMV area. 
I would consider other options while seeking employment.

For the most part, the coworkers were awesome and people tried to make the day fun while productive, the culture was evident.

The Pay was interestingly a pleasant surprise (well, if you are performing well that is). Above market average.

However,

No Accounting department, the manager would do payroll for the site and more than occasionally make mistakes in payroll if not spotted. Distasteful for most.

HR has truly lived to its name and reputation of not having any wiggle room for employees even at the slightest low level mistake. No matter how good you are, no matter the respect and relationships and the impact you have for the company. Simply Brutal.

Also will make you work in extreme weather. Hot, cold, rain you name it.
Territories get saturated even with the denial of many. Door to door has it's ups and downs but Good people try to make it work and less stressful, nothing to do with company really but rather the person who is there with you.

If you can't avoid this job beware of two faced people. Career advancement is actually a thing here if you are good, although like many jobs...there are snakes and crab mentality. Good travels happen from time to time and a grandiose landscape scenery is always a welcome view on your daily interchanging locations.

This is door to door, it's a tough job. It was more enjoyable here than most because the coworkers were a really fun bunch of people. That being said, sometimes you gotta work when your hands are freezing off or you're getting a bad sunburn which sucks like any outdoors job. Learned some sales basics which was helpful.

It was disheartening that management is not open to learning from their mistakes. The system they have in place is far from flawless but they won't hear it. Sometimes your hard-earned leads will fall through because of another department at MLM, but it reflects poorly on you and you have nothing to show for it.

There was lack of communication from management and I was part of massive layoffs that came out of pretty much nowhere, crushing the positive culture and morale. Wish I'd done more research on the company in advance. Not bad for a summer job or something to gather some experience at for a couple of months, but if you're qualified for this job, chances are you can find something better.

I had the pleasure of working here for the past 2 months and enjoyed working with everyone. There are some things that weren't handled correctly in my opinion such as confirmation center, fluctuating procedures, goals and ultimatums. Some employees from the call center should've been fired long ago for how much they would sabotage marketer's interactions with potential clients. It seemed like every week there'd be a completely new procedure for work and morning meetings. Goals set by our manager for each marketer sometimes were unrealistic based on the areas we were sent to daily, almost every neighborhood we'd go to we would've already been in 2 weeks prior. The company is legit, but the way we'd circle back and knock neighborhoods we've been to at least 20 times felt ridiculous and made marketers look stupid at times. Some new people that would join were given ultimatums that were unattainable, again because of the terrible territory management. I will forever rep this company because we genuinely did help homeowners more than our competitors, but the work environment and management just need to be fixed before I'll give the job a 5-star review.

The entirety of the job's responsibilities  (roof project consultant) will not be revealed to you until you've been there for months. Your training will never end, as they do not want you to know the ins and outs of the business as well as them. If you are a roofer, you already know more about roofs than every single employee combined. All they do is knock on doors, provide a sales pitch to both the customer and insurance adjuster, and up-charge for roofing materials to make a profit. Their benefits are near non-existent (healthcare covers absolutely nothing), there is no set structure to the training (it will go on until you get lucky and make them a ton of money or they fire you), and the expectations and requirements change every single week. Expected work hours are 7am-7pm, Monday-Saturday, no overtime or salary. 

If you are a good salesmen this job may work for you, but the commission is not as good as other companies in the industry and your profit relies heavily on inflating prices to otherwise clueless customers. 

By and far the worst job I have ever held, lied about pay, lied about my schedule, lied about work responsibilities, call center manager micromanaged every little detail of your work, and if you dared question something she micromanaged you even more and made you regret it to the point you wanted to quit.  They listen to ever thing you say and even if its talking to other employees and are not shy to bring it up.  Managers there have no idea what they are doing but just rolling with the flow.  Training is absolutely horrible, so many unanswered questions and when I started had no idea what I was doing.  They make all these promises but people drop like flies from this place, just in my group only a few people have been there over 3 months and they all happen to be buddies with the manager or managers. 

Stay far away, horrible pay, horrible schedule, horrible management.  You can find much better work elsewhere with same or better pay as work life balance does not exist here, you will hate your life if you join this company.  

Make 200-300 phone calls a day to “warm” leads in an attempt to set appointments for a free home roof inspection 

I learned how to be resilient after having people hang up on me mid sentence several times a day or tell me that I’m working for scam artists

Management is very friendly, helpful, and motivating and they like to reward the team with bigger paychecks, which is nice

The culture was pretty great. Everyones a team player and want to help you learn

The hardest part of the job is that your sort of expected to lie/ not tell the whole truth in order to sell people on scheduling an appointment for a free roof inspection (which is actually free at least) and knowing that if they end up being approved for a new roof, it could adversely affect their relationship with having or obtaining home insurance in ways we both dont inform them of and also down right lie about to an extent

The most enjoyable part for me was getting to work from home and saving a lot of time in transit and money on transit

I truly believe you get what you put into with this line of work. Majority of your paycheck is commission based, so it does fluctuate on a bi-weekly basis. As a remote call center specialist it was laid-back in the beginning, however I missed interacting and seeing my colleagues in person and spending time with them outside of work. The job itself is fairly straight forward: you make outbound calls & answer inbound calls. Be prepared to take A LOT of calls. Training lasted several weeks where I shadowed my supervisor and other team members. I probably felt most comfortable 2 months into my time with the company.  If you do not consider yourself to be detail-oriented, I would not recommend this job to you. 

Overall, good company to work for. I learned new skills with this company, but ultimately decided to leave because I wanted something more consistent and offered affordable benefits

Management does not care about you. You are just a number. We had an entire office leave because of poor management. Bad sales training they will only teach you the basics then its up to you. No further sales training technique taught during my employment. Several bad complaints from home owners. Started to feel like I wasn't actually helping home owners because the company would very often ghost home owners and cancel their appointments without rescheduling or just not show up. Tainted the reputation in our area. Co-worker got let go because they had to deal with an immediate family issue and management didn't care. Really sour experience. If you have no sales experience you will learn the basics, learn objections, get some doors slammed in your face, and get your first clients. If you already have some sales experience don't bother. We had zero office culture. Was dreadful. Also its door to door and we hardly got bathroom/water breaks. 

This job offers a door into this industry in a better fashion than other companies similar to it. However, the company is exactly what its brand is intended to represent: Multi-Level Marketing. In this position, you're a marketer. You canvas and knock on doors for leads. You get compensated bonuses if the leads run, which doesn't happen as often as it should, and is not always at the fault of the marketers. 

Some coworkers you will find to be helpful and supportive, which boosts the morale of the overall work. You must be persistent and assertive if you want to produce consistent results for this job. 

My problem with this company was with the management. Promises for promotions were made for several people and not kept. Once this company uses you to its desire, it will be happy to let you go. These managers do not care for their employees, it's all a facade. 

Overall, find a better job. This insurance volcano isn't it. I'd rather work at a Starbucks.
