Premier Pools & Spas

What is the best part of working at the company?
Had an excellent experience working for Premier Pools & Spas. Would highly recommend this company to other job seekers. During the course of my employment there I met so many great people who have been instrumental to the growth of my career. I am profoundly changed for the better from my time with this firm and would wholeheartedly refer anyone I know to work for them. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working in a team environment with other strong personalities who did not necessarily know how my role or the work I was doing impacted the bottom line or overarching business goals was challenging. Traveling for different events was also a bit stressful. Bottom line, you need to be flexible to work with this firm.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture is family oriented and I always had the feeling that the executive team genuinely cares about their employees. I was part of the executive team and had close interaction with almost everyone. I always had the sense that the work I was doing was valuable and impacted the financial well-being of those I was close to, which made the work fulfilling.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You may be asked to work on simultaneous projects with overlapping deadlines. Good communication is fundamentally important to your success here. You are given a lot of autonomy which is great for self-starters but may scare some who might feel like they've been thrown in the deep end of the pool so to speak. One thing is for certain, there is no shortage of exciting projects to work on and you will not be bored with the work.

Helping people build their dream back yard is fun and exciting.  It is a tough and competitive business, however management strives to exceed customer expectations.  

We couldn't ask for better owners and corporate support that provide our customers the best insulation when issues do arise. Likewise, our owners genuinely care about each and every family that puts their trust in us to build their pool and the staff they have chosen to build their company.  I am proud and blessed to be part of their lives. 

The design and administrative staff are exceptional and our construction management is the best in the business.  This is truly a great place to work and we are getting better every day.

The hardest part of the job is getting others to understand the differences in our company.  Things are much different than 5 years ago.  It is a continuous process to get better.  We are growing quickly and developing better systems to become more efficient.  Unfortunately, there are some pains that coincide with this, but we have created an exceptional staff that puts customers first and eliminated those that were not adhering to our vision.  You can definitely tell a difference just in the past few months.  This company is taking off and I am excited for near future.

The best part of the job is knowing that we are constantly striving to improve and become the best and most trusted pool builder in Phoenix.  Being part of that growth and contributing to the company alongside some of the best coworkers anyone could ask for is such a blessing.

It is fun to be around everyone that is genuinely concerned about our customers and company while continually working hard to exceed expectations.

First off, I want to say my two bosses were phenomenal who are truly knowledgeable in what they do. 
With that said, you get no base, no gas card, no vehicle allowance. You are expected to run leads assigned to you. Keep in mind these leads can be 5 miles from you or 50 miles from you with no gas card or reimbursement. You are expected to make two meetings a week that are 40 miles away. Again, you are expected to be there without being paid a base or getting gas reimbursement. You are a W-2 employee but get no base salary. You get paid 2.75% at dig and another 2.75% at completion IF the job is profitable. But the company makes sure the superintendent of the job is paid along with everyone else involved but the sales person. Who again gets no base, gas card or car allowance. The superintendents however receive all of that. If you have a family and are the main source of income for them, do yourself and your family a favor and get a job somewhere else. Do not put them thru that nightmare. I added everything up I spent to run leads and go to meetings and I was in the red compared to what I made. There is a draw for the first 4 weeks and after that you are cut off. You are expected to pay that back on your 5th dig. It’s a great deal for the owners because they are not taking any risk and have you the sales person running leads using your own money for gas and putting a ton of miles on your vehicle. Win win for them. I hope this helps anyone looking to work for this company. I wish I would have had all the facts before leaving a great job for this company. Live and learn.

If you’re considering a position here, don’t be misled by the “we’re a family” narrative they promote during the hiring process. The reality is a toxic work environment with poor management. The sales manager lacks professionalism and struggles with effective communication, often speaking to employees in a condescending manner. Meanwhile, the VP seems more focused on his own agenda than addressing real workplace concerns.

Despite putting in the effort and dedication, I was told that if business didn’t pick up, I would have been let go—showing just how little job security or true employee support exists here. The only positive aspect was my coworkers, who were hardworking and supportive despite the circumstances.

Additionally, management insists that employees can make more through incentives rather than offering raises. However, when pool sales are down, those incentives become meaningless, leaving employees stuck in a position with no real opportunity for financial growth. If you’re looking for stability and a company that truly values its employees, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.




When I first started at Premier Raleigh it was great, even though it was busy and could be stressful. Lots of learning, upward progress, advancement opportunities, etc. Then things started to go downhill. Customers were never happy, subs weren't happy, and the owner seemed to disappear, at least until it was time to collect a check. It became increasingly more difficult to actually get anything done due to the lack of leadership and the focus on nothing but profit. Customer satisfaction went out the window (not for lack of trying on the employees' part), subs constantly complained about delinquent payments and awful conditions, and employees had no leadership to rely on. The team was great, and job security was pretty much guaranteed as long as you could put up with the job, but unless you feel like working for a mediocre salary while constantly getting complaints and having no true authority to accommodate anyone's needs or desires, I suggest you stay away from this branch!

They will hire anyone, however they run on favoritism and the laborers are treated like they are second rate citizens compared to upper management. Exclusion from company functions based on being an entry level laborer is common. Upper management has many perks like free sporting tickets with access to vip lounges and private boxes throughout summer, the office is catered weekly for lunches, early Fridays, company vehicles to drive home. The laborers get nothing other than a once per year bbq that is paid for by the supervisors themselves and is not reimbursed by the company. I left as a result of my department being eliminated from the company but I was offered to go back to the dirt where I started shovel in hand years earlier. It was an insulting slap in the face after the enormous amount of hard work I had to do to advance away from manual labor to begin with. 

Through any company you put in time and your personal assurance through your intensive labor to help build a team and push for a project to be built in a great timeline. Great leadership and a team environment. This is what makes a business strong.

Unfortunately their core values are not even followed by their own managers, violations of there own employee handbooks and in which the franchise owners who appointed them in their position can’t see this.seems they only focus on draw payments and not the well being of there employees or concerns from customers.  Most companies would rather terminate hard working employees and keep lazy ones who have no experience in the positions there in so you are left by yourself with little to no support.. the expectations from you are significant and yet the pay does Not match industry standard. 

Selling pools was the simple part about the job because everyone wants one so when the potential income says a lot of money, it could be possible if you have 13-16 months to wait on getting paid. You can take a draw but you will constantly be harassed about how much you owe them and then they will just cut you off, they even will go back in your bank account and take out money you owe them, crazy right??? The other thing is once you sell a pool, you will now live with them until it’s installed. I could see if a pool took 3-4 months, no problem on waiting but when it’s taking over 12 months…how can you live??? And then when they stop paying you, how are you supposed to live…This place is a joke and they basically get you to sell, design, and deal with the customer the whole time and bank on you leaving so they don’t have to pay you the commission…. 

Premier Pools & Spas is the best career. A typical day of work involves working with either my customers or my team to sell and build swimming pools. I have learned how to sell and manage business to the highest level of success. Management locally and nationally is very supportive to help you become the best. Workplace culture is strong incentivizing hard work and encourages work/life balance. The pay is incredible, commissions are generous and have changed my life. I have never had a job that pays this well. The hardest part of the job is there is a lot to learn and continue learning. The most enjoyable part of the job is watching our customers get their dream of a pool built in their yard. I love hearing how much they love their pool, even years later. The first time their kids jump in is priceless. I love my job.
