Premier Roofing

I am currently a 1099 independent contractor with Premier Roofing Company. This means I technically manage my own company under the umbrella of Premier Roofing Company. With that being said, I do play by the rules set by Premier in my role. It's important for anyone looking into the Sales Management Training position to understand the difference between a 1099 independent contractor and a W2 employee. A 1099 independent contractor does not receive any employee benefits like a W2 employee.

I began working at Premier with absolutely zero sales experience, but was offered the opportunity and have had zero regrets since I joined the team! Premier does offer you all the tools needed to become successful in the Sales Management Training position. Being a 1099 employee does mean you will be responsible for your own gas and ladder, but Premier does provide you with a formal uniform, marketing materials/business cards, and training needed to do the job. Anyone who does not become successful in this position likely lacks personal responsibility for their individual performance. We do work long hours during peak hail season, but that's because the opportunity to make a lot of money is immense! Your success here is directly related to your work ethic. You either see the potential and do what it takes to capitalize on it, or you squander the opportunity, complain, and find ways to blame others for your poor performance. The old saying, "you get out what you put in" is 100% relevant to this particular position. It is 100% commission based, which is what I like about the role. I've always been a hard-working person, no matter what industry I worked, but always felt that I wasn't being compensated appropriately for the work I was providing to the company. This position at Premier does compensate you appropriately if you are a high-functioning performer. This position does require you to wear multiple hats, but in order to make big dollars in any industry, you must be capable of doing that. Most people who aren't able to become high performers do not grasp this concept. During the work season, we do work long hours, but that's because there is endless opportunity available. In Colorado we typically get major hail/wind storms each year. Once these storms roll through, we are placed in impacted areas by our Field Supervisors and assist homeowners through the insurance process in replacing their roofs if their home has been impacted by the storm.

I have learned so much by working with this company. I have learned how to multi-task, how to manage my time and money, personal responsibility, what it actually means to work hard, how to manage myself and others, etc. The financial aspect of this position is what keeps me working hard each year to fulfill my individual goals, as well as the goals set within the branch and the company as a whole. The company culture here is outstanding. As big as the company has become over the last 16 years, it's incredible to see how personal the upper management is with their employees and independent contractors. They truly care about the people working for them and provide a tremendous amount of opportunity to secure bonuses and advance within the company. The hardest part of the position is maintaining a positive headspace throughout the year. Like any job, there are challenges throughout the year, but many of them are out of your control. This is mostly due to the homeowners you work with and the insurance policy they have selected with their insurance company. We do lose some jobs we secure with homeowners due to poor insurance policies, difficult homeowners, other roofing companies stealing jobs through sleazy and/or illegal practices, but these challenges don't come close to the positive aspects of the role and the company.

The most enjoyable part of the job is getting to work outside and meet some really cool people while helping them through the process of replacing their roof. I don't feel like I actually have a job in this role. I get to work outside all day, converse with people, make more money than anyone I know in my personal circle of friends/family, and work with a really great group of people within the company. My fellow co-workers are very like-minded individuals who are seeking many of the same things I am in life. Such things include, but are not limited to: a flexible work schedule, financial freedom, relaxed work environment, and several months off each year due to inclement weather. We challenge each other, support each other, and have a really lighthearted work atmosphere within the office. If you are a hard-working person who understands what it actually takes to earn a six-figure income, then this opportunity is for you. If you are someone who wants to clock in from 9-5 and have someone hold your hand throughout the day, then this opportunity is not for you. It's truly that black and white.

I worked the corporate lifestyle for many years and was always one of the best on the team, but working for someone else will almost never get you where you actually want to be in life. Do yourself a favor - sack up, take advice from others who are in the position you desire to be in life, whether that be personal or professional, take a chance at something that might make you uncomfortable, and do what it takes to earn the money you want. If you don't, then you will likely always be behind the eight ball in life. I only have positive things to say about Premier. They are constantly making improvements within the company to make processes more streamlined for everyone to become more successful and happier within their individual role! I can almost guarantee you there is no other roofing company out there that is doing what Premier Roofing is doing to grow the company in such a positive, optimistic direction.

Please please please BEWARE before accepting a job with this company!!! Your first day will be all about the great family atmosphere. They will preach about culture, success, growth, passion and anything else that could be the furthest from the truth about the company. I had already worked in the roofing industry for 2 years prior to taking a job offer as a “Order Builder”. Already being familiar with many roofing systems. Unfortunately, I didn’t see what I was walking into. It was a  political and opinionated environment. If you are different from the group, you will be outed. Favoritism is another great word to use to describe Primer roofing. In my 2 short months on staff I witnessed individuals sleeping for hours at a time at there desk, showing up 45 minutes late, and completing a fraction of the work the rest of the team would. Those employees never had any repercussions for those actions and strongly upset employees around them for the lack of fair and equal work environments being maintained. I was told I was doing a “great” job on a weekly basis. Never felt a concern about my employment. At no time was I ever told my work performance was not up to par. Just to be fired with no explanation at 4p.m, an hour before the day was over. I hope this review will give you a true idea of the misleading environment that initially will be presented to you. As a 27 year old with a young son. They uprooted my life and well being with no warning. I truly don’t want to see anyone else with a family go through a sudden unexpected termination. Also, if you read the recent reviews on this job board in regards to Primier roofing. Then you will see that this company lies, manipulates, and uses its employees. With a smile on there face. BEWARE!!! Practicing the opposite of what they preach, all across the board. I have no reason to try and tear Premier roofing down. Just to be the voice and to point out how they treat hard working individuals. I was completely blindsided. I’m also not the first and probably won’t be the last they treat this way. So again, please please BEWARE of Premier roofing’s so called culture.

Overall opinion- MAYBE 10-15% of the people in the company photo they have on here are still employed with Premier.  Good position for a go-getter for a few years. If you aren't a clear favorite and promoted to team lead or manager position after a few years, you never will be and should start looking for a new line of work. Get some experience and make your money then move on.  My pay scale, and KPIs/metrics, changed almost every year...sometimes was revised more than half way through the year. Commissions and bonuses were paid months after projects were finalized. 

I put in several years with Premier and was overall very successful in my role. The position pays very well if you are willing to put in the extra time, are efficient, and don't question the ethics of the estimates you are writing or the supplements you are demanding. Yes men/women are rewarded; critical thinkers are not.

The company is frequently opening new branches and expanding into new markets, which was great at first. Then it became a mad scramble to fill leadership roles, which ended up going to anyone who was willing to relocate. Unsurprisingly, most of those hires don't work out and it turns into a mad scramble to figure out what comes next. 
Feels like they are in such a rush to get to the moon that they forgot to fuel up the rocket ship. 



This job literally changed my life. I had been working odd jobs for my entire working life, just scraping by. A neighbor came to me and asked me if I knew anyone that might need a job and that they were hiring. I took the job as a sales rep and was able to perform pretty well. Like with at job, there is a learning curve and ups and downs. I was a little worried at first because when I had first started, it took a long time to get paid out for the jobs. When I say long time, I mean many months.that being said, the payments did start coming in and I was compensated very well for my work. I was able to get promoted after just one season of selling and had a better year financially than I had ever had in my life. The culture at the Denver Branch is great. We all get together every week for a bbq, we collaborate well together and have fun. The job is stressful during our peak season but it is well worth it. I really do enjoy working at Premier. The only downside to me is, as a contract employee, I am not eligible to receive health benefits and sometimes, the pay outs can take a while to get. Recently, they also started reducing my job responsibilities which is nice in terms of giving me more free time but it does affect my pay as I have to now pay someone else to do that work for me, even when I have plenty of time to get that work done. I have no choice. Other than that, it’s a great place to work with a high income potential and a great work/life balance.

Premier Roofing is a great place to excel fast if you are a hard worker and good with sales/people. Depending on your work ethic and drive, you can make 6 figures if you are dedicated to doing that. This is coming from a Field Rep's point of view. You are responsible for yourself and your customers and will have a knowledgeable supervisor every step of the way, all you need to do is ask. I enjoy the freedom of schedule and less work in the wintertime to enjoy the fruits of my labor. Hit it hard during the spring, summer, and fall, and you will not regret it.

The culture is better than any other job I've had. Premier is a modern, hip place to work and provides fun outings every month and attractive work attire and kickass prizes/bonuses for hitting sales achievements. There is always room to grow at Premier because as a company, they are growing rapidly and new positions are made available all the time.

If anything is "hard" it would be that you have to face rejection on a daily basis. You must be willing to let that go, and keep moving onto the next. You can make it happen if you want to, and I personally enjoy helping my customers and working outside rather than behind a desk. If you're a persistent go-getter and want to make as much money as you are willing to work for, then come on!

I took a position with Premier on whim, thinking what I read was too good to be true. For once, it wasn't. I found myself in a situation where I was in control of what I get paid. I didn't know a thing about roofing before joining the company, but the training brought me up to speed quickly. Then it was up to me, and I made the most of it. Scary at first, but if you are a "go-getter" and somebody that perseveres when challenged, this is your niche. It takes A LOT of hard work to make it work, but if you're willing to pay the price, the returns are unmatched. I've always deemed myself an over-achiever and have a track record of going above & beyond for the companies that have employed me.  I'm finally in a position where that extra effort = extra money immediately, rather than hoping I get noticed with a promotion, somewhere down the line.  It is a meritocracy that comes with the backing of financial rewards for success.

Has been the best decision in my professional career to join the Premier TEAM.  I get to work among competitive and hard working people like myself that push me to be even better!  Top down everyone I meet is GREAT, from the owners to the support center to all my branch teammates and all the other branches we see at the year end party in Denver.  

You can literally make whatever you want to make by your effort, desire and persistence...simple as that.  I will make double what I made at my last job only I love what I do helping people and helping my reps and office be successful both on a financial and personal level.  

Is it tough? Yes, it is but so is anything worth having and worth working for.  It's similar to a professional athlete's season meaning you enjoy the off-season by traveling or whatever you like to do and when the season starts you get ready to grind and make your fame.  

Looking forward to many amazing years to come!

Premier by FAR has been the best team of people I have worked with. Not only are my coworkers and teammates great people with good attitudes, every person in management is the same. Everyone here has been so genuinely nice and supportive of each other I almost thought it couldn't be reality. However, after time it has stayed true, and I look forward to seeing everyone here everyday. The culture of positivity does not come across as fake or overwhelming like some environments I have experienced, it is genuine and motivating. The hardest part of the job is just that it is growing so fast that things change quickly and while departments shift you may have to juggle several different responsibilities, however I have seen that as a positive challenge. The people here are really where the money is at. With how many awesome people they have on the team, if you are hired I'd take it as a great compliment because you must be pretty awesome yourself.

I have been with Premier for just over 4 years now. I have nothing but great things to say about the company. Over the last 4 years we have grown quickly and it has opened up many opportunities for people to grow within the company. During the summer months (our busy season) we make sure that all of the orders are built for each of our Homeowners. We typically slow down in the winter but we take that time to improve our processes. The workplace culture is friendly and inviting and we all like to have fun. Everyone is willing to help each other out and we work as a team regardless of what department you work in. Some improvements that the Premier has made since I started here are as follows: 401K, Health Insurance, 3 weeks of PTO (increases to 4 weeks at 5 years), an awesome tenure program, and the continued opportunities for all employees to grow and learn. I feel lucky to have found Premier and can not wait to see what the future holds for this company.

Premier is a young and successful company that has grown every year that I have worked there. The typical work day is very laid back and you're usually expected to be in the office from 7-4 M-F. I have learned to work with multiple departments within the company in order to accomplish my daily objectives. I worked with a team, but was mostly expected to get my personal work done throughout the day in my office. I liked the culture of playing ping pong at times throughout the day and going to the gym for at least an hour over lunch with my team. The most enjoyable part of the job, was working with young professionals like myself, sharing ideas, and just working with supportive individuals with the same interest as you.
