Renewal By Andersen of Central PA

This place has honestly become a home to me over the past two years I've been working here. If you were to walk in here a complete stranger, the first thing you'd notice is the culture. I'll be honest, I can be kind of skeptical about some companies that say, "Oh, yeah, company culture is everything! We're a family!" No skepticism here. Renewal by Andersen of Central PA seriously feels like family. When I come to this office in the morning, I feel like everyone - every last employee all the way up to the CEO and the owner - actually cares about me. They're genuinely happy to see me, and I'm genuinely happy to see them. I work, laugh, eat, and have fun with all these folks. I've worked in places where it just felt like *work*, and that's it. You come in, clock in, plug away at whatever you're supposed to do, you clock out, that's it. I don't feel that at all here. Yeah, you work, but you love it because of who you're with. Let me clear - you get out of this place what you put into it. If you come in here and have a solid attitude, you'll flourish. You constantly feel motivated and pushed to do your very best because you know everyone around you feels the exact same way.

The management has ALWAYS made me feel empowered and capable. I'll admit, the work can be challenging at times - I'm not always the most social person, and my work involves interfacing directly with our customers. But that challenge doesn't faze me at all. Through that challenge, I've been trained and taught how to do everything I've needed along the way. I sincerely feel that I have grown professionally at RbA. They've not only just shown me what to do - they've entrusted me with power and authority to make decisions in the course of my work. It's made me feel a sense of purpose and sureness in myself. 

This place has shaped me and made me into a more refined person. I'm still comparatively young and I have career aspirations in the fields I studied in school. I may not be here at RbA for the rest of my life, but that's okay. This place has room for folks who are looking to grow and develop as professionals AND for people who are looking to make a lifelong career. I genuinely feel that when I go to pursue my dreams, it's going to be hard to leave this place, but I'll go knowing that this place made me a stronger, more confident, more capable person for my future.

Work-life balance
Work life balance is pretty good. We’d all love full weekends off but that’s near impossible in any sales job.

Pay & benefits
Pay is what you make it. It’s definitely a fair structure but it is on you to perform. I made a lot of money for a door knocking job. I’ve seen plenty of people not make any.

Job security and advancement
This is where they fail. They say you can grow. They give you tasks to complete to grow, but when you complete them they change the rules. I was told again and again I’d get promoted but never did.

Management
Management for canvassing in Mechanicsburg, PA is hit and miss. If you take the job for what it is, it’s fine. They promise growth and that part is simply a joke. I saw one guy who was literally the best canvasser in the country and I was told in my interview he was going to sales soon and it never happened. He eventually quit. I thought I was being trained for management when I was hired but that was a pipe dream too.

Culture
When you’re “in” the culture is great. If you’re not one of the clique, it’s not.

Overall
Bottom line is if management followed through on their promises, the place would be great. I enjoyed a lot of my time there. The job is what you make it. The BIG problem is they have empty promises of promotion no matter how well you do. I was told I could move to management rapidly but it never happened. Trust me, performance wasn’t the reason why. Childish arguments with management after I left are a problem, too. When I left, the manager literally texted me telling me he couldn’t wait til I failed and told me I’d come crawling back.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only thing good about this company is the people you work with. They’re all good spirited and uplifting. This is that way because one of their biggest concerns when hiring is a personality test you take apon recruitment.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Your first couple weeks will be stress free, and you’ll be living it up, making a decent hourly, and not having to worry about getting hours throughout the week. You will have fun and hang out with the crew, knock on doors and people will be alright, but as soon as those first 2 weeks are up, the tables will turn on you. They say that every house you knock is a potential lead, and you just have to close it, but throughout the month I was there and working alone, I was only given low income, renters, and public housing. “My make it or break it” week was ONLY collage dorms and low income “ghetto” apartments. You will NOT be given the chance you deserve because this company is too proud to admit they are wrong. I wasn’t looking for a magical way out, or an easy cash cow, but this job is genuinely impossible to succeed in.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The people are very nice, but it was hard to get to know people when they were constantly quitting and getting hired on. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You’ll go out and try to convince people to get a free inspection for windows and doors they can’t afford.

First and foremost, you have to be able (not just willing) to take rejection. I mean customers that will slam the door in your face or tell you to get off their property. They are not obligated to be nice to someone who knocked on their door unannounced. You also have to be unafraid to push past your comfort zone. This isn't a job where making more money will be easy, even if they make it sound that way. Not only, do you have to convince people they need windows and doors, you have to make sure they are willing to keep their appointments because otherwise, you can't get commission if they don't. Now granted, a lot of things can happen that are outside of one's control on whether or not someone keeps their appointments, but the chances of it going through are higher if you have built enough rapport with them. Also, you will be knocking on houses at untimely hours and in questionable whether. Expect people at the door to wonder about your own sanity. But if you can push past that awkward part, and get them to like you, then it is just a matter of doing your normal sales pitch. Aside from that, everyone at work was awesome and they continuously reward the top performers or just anyone who does well at any given time, really. If they know you are trying your best and you care, they will help you improve.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There are no good parts to working here . The work culture is toxic and promotes favoritism and they do not help you when you are struggling and only help people if they are strong callers 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
All of it , but mostly the performance aspect and pressures are constant , and if you do not meet the high expectations even during the slow months you will be frowned upon 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This is a toxic work culture that promotes favoritism , under the guise of “family oriented” which only applies to people who have been there the longest . You will be excluded from social events and making friends or a good impression if you are not strong from the start 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Little to no guidance or direction , completely autonomous and self kept schedule , and no real structure

I have worked here for roughly a year and a half. In that time - I have been recognized for my work with a literal award. I have purchased my dream home. My 401k is gaining at a tremendous rate. I am earning well over 6 figures per year. The job is not EASY. You have to enjoy sales for one, you have to enjoy talking to people, it helps to enjoy being on the road - listening to music and taking in the sights. You have to care about personal development. This is not a job where success is guaranteed. You have to WORK FOR IT.  So many people want the system to do the work for them, thinking they will show the product and present a price and get a yes. This is why I see so many complaints here. I'm so sick of seeing people on here acting like this job is a scam or impossible. If you are a fast learner and can handle the word no without turning into a soft bellied baby - give this career a genuine chance. It could change your life just like it did mine.

Direct management is awful, promising leads go to only a few people if they don't like you you'll only go to low income non financeable houses which you can sell but when they don't get approved goes against youand they do that to push you out and pay the people they like more (ive went on ride alongs with the people they like and our leads were night and day beautiful places vs run down places). They know what the promising leads are by home value and how they set the appointment up/notes they get while setting it up. Very shady company every meeting they'll threaten with termination single you out in a very unprofessional manner and deliver news of how your job is getting worse by adding pointless things/making it a 7 day work week when it started at 6 already it's always a bad time when you have to be around the management nothings good enough and just a complete unprofessional enviroment

Window installers are at the bottom of the food chain in this company. They work the hardest and get the least respect. You are scheduled to do jobs and then within 24 hours your job has been switched.  The schedulers play favorites and take jobs away from the crews they do not like and give to their favorites. Installer skill level and seniority has no bearing to the managers or schedulers, which really affects the level of service. As an installer, if a customer is upset about the sales person being too aggressive or lying to them, you get to deal with that too!  The money can be good, but the games are exhausting. The most ironic thing is they never have enough work to keep you busy, but there is always a job post on indeed. This company is run by children that do not understand how the world works. 

I have been working for Renewal by Andersen for almost 6 years. I started back in 2017 when I was only 20 years old. 6 months into starting my "job"(at the time) I was promoted into a program that was all my own to call. Then in 2019 I was promoted to Call Center Supervisor, which was the start of my career. 
I now get to help my ISC Reps grow into the careers that they have their eyes set on!
Now the culture, you will NEVER find a better work place with a better culture than this. We laugh, we have fun, all while getting the job done! Everyone is treated as family the whole way across the company! 
The flexibility and understanding of the managers in this company cant be found anywhere else!
I could go on and on for hours about this place and the huge positive impact that it, and the people in it, have had on my life.



If you accept a job here you will be regretful. The company is not a bad company. However if you apply for marketing as they call it. It is door to door and they will not get permits, so be prepared to be stoped by the police on a daily basis. Also you will be lying to every customer you talk. There install teams suck and you will lost likely realise this very shortly by dealing with angry customers at the door, which makes it even harder for you to get sales which is how you get paid. Also the management department is a joke. You will be called names a d they will fire you for low numbers, and I assure you will not receive proper training but you will be held accountable for your lack thereof of training. However if you like sports a d politics it will be a great training expernice for you.
