The potential to make money is there technically, but you have to be the ABSOLUTE BEST SALESMAN to get anywhere near what they tell you is possible in training. When i was there the top salesman wasn’t getting more than 2 leads a day average, and most people don’t even get that. The average day was fine, just walking around and talking to people about their roof, basic stuff. Just like every job you’re working with some good people some bad. The benefits are good overall, but you’re gonna spend a lot of time working with only 3 days off every 2 weeks and you won’t be getting home til around 7-9 depending where you live so be prepared to make this your life. They will not work with you at all when it comes to stuff coming up in life, I had court one day and instead of just not coming in afterwards, i actually used my own gas to make it to where they were working that day and i got fired the next day because i was 2 minutes late. I understand some people will see that and say “well you should have been on time” but realistically life happens and they didn’t want to even try to work with me at all. Not to mention they don’t pay you for training if you don’t finish the first work week, even though i drove 3 and a half hours there and back for it (because it’s not in the same city), and i didn’t even quit so it wasn’t my choice. The main things you should know before working here is to keep your expectations realistic, don’t let anyone make you think you’re gonna start off making crazy money, you won’t, be ready to dedicate most of your life to this job,  try to just learn from experience as you go because everyone is going to give you conflicting advice and you can easily get confused trying to do what everyone else does, and just remember that you are better than anything you deal with at any job, don’t let anyone put you down or make you think you have to change who you are. A job is just a job, and if something isn’t for you then that’s ok, don’t let anyone tell you that that you aren’t good enough because of it. Don’t sacrifice who you are for anything, especially not for people that don’t see your value. And just because i know that someone from this company will read this and probably reply, you need to start seeing the value people have and take that into consideration before you just fire someone, and i’m not the only one, there are plenty of other people in the same position i am. i put a lot of time and effort into trying to work for you guys and y’all didn’t put any effort in return. Someone who actually sees my value will be happy to have me work for them. Thanks for wasting my time.

I recently had a mix bag of feelings and wanted to share my recent questionable experience.

I recently had an interview within the last week and within a few days, I was headed down to Charlotte for training.  I thought this was too good to be true.  Little did I expect that things would not go when I expected.  When I got there, was placed into a room with others.  The trainer used curse words literally every 5-10 minute which I was extremely uncomfortable with.  Then was told that we would have to begin memorizing a script or we would.  I did not travel all the way down to Charlotte for an audition.  On top of that, we found out in regard to hotel arrangements, we would have to share a room with someone.  I was not in favor of that (I talked to my family and wife and they all agreed that was a sorry cheap tactic).  That night, I laid down with little to no sleep and prayed that the Lord would give me a sign that this wasn't the path God wanted me to do.  Within an hour of the second day of training, I received a message to pursue another opportunity.  So I packed up my things and left.  That was the best decision I have ever made.  While I was driving back, my roommate called me to let me know that he was sent home, along with a few others as well.  So I know in my heart that God did not want me to have a future with Southern National Roofing.  If I would had found out all of the above in the beginning during the interview, then I would had rejected it immediately.

As a homeowner, I know all about missing shingles and damaged flashings.  However, if I went to another homeowner and shared with them issues regarding their roof, it really should come from your heart.  NOT A SCRIPT.  When I began in retail and sold cars during my college years, I was always taught that the customer came first.  When you assist a customer with something, you should listen to their needs and help them out in whatever need it may be.  Listening to their needs will go a long way and helps you build trust with that individual, even a long lasting relationship.  The tactics that was shared in day one training, along in the script, from my opinion was extremely poor tactics.  You should never, never, have a script in any job at all.  It needs to come from your heart to help that customer in need.

Also, when it comes to the job title, it really needs to be "Roofing Inspector".  Not "Entry Level Sales Representative" as it was on the paperwork.

I would highly recommend that if you are looking for a career where the employer cares about its person, not the value of a dollar sign, then this is not the place to be.



As the Chief Operating Officer of Southern National Roofing, I am proud to share my journey within this remarkable company. Starting from the bottom, I've experienced firsthand the incredible growth opportunities and supportive environment that define our workplace culture.

Southern National Roofing isn't just a company; it's a community where hard work is recognized and rewarded. From day one, I was encouraged to excel and given the tools and resources necessary to succeed. The leadership team is committed to nurturing talent from within, providing avenues for professional development and advancement.

One of the standout aspects of working at Southern National Roofing is the plethora of opportunities available for career progression. The company values internal talent and actively invests in cultivating future leaders.

Beyond career growth, Southern National Roofing fosters a collaborative and inclusive environment where every employee's contribution is valued. Teamwork is at the core of our success, and I've had the privilege of working alongside dedicated individuals who are passionate about delivering excellence in everything we do.


In conclusion, I wholeheartedly endorse Southern National Roofing as an exceptional place to work. From the opportunities to advance professionally to the supportive atmosphere cultivated by the leadership team, every aspect of the company reflects its commitment to employee success. If you're seeking a fulfilling career where you can grow and thrive, look no further than Southern National Roofing.

The hours for this job are dictated both by what hours of sunlight are available and also what weather permits for talking to possible clients (rain means further drives away from office). As an entry level position for sales, it is better than most out there. You get paid for the lead being set, not when the lead sells. That is a major bonus. Management is very involved and will ensure that you are adept at your job and also aware of how you can improve both short term and long term. The work place culture is incredible; one of the friendliest environments I have encountered without the corporate synthetic feeling of a sanitized, HR driven “walking on eggshells” culture. The job is many miles walked, but the opportunity for great commission makes the long days seem short. There will be people who are not pleased with you being at their door, but there will be many experiences as well that will make you glad to have come to them. As well, the training class and indeed application promised company vehicles, but this is not the case. You will be compensated for the days that you drive your personal vehicles, but there are not company vehicles. My coworkers are my favorite part of the job. Even when the drives from the office are long, the coworkers make the day easy. As well, the opportunities for advancement are great. Within a month, I was promoted to a point that I make a comfortable weekly pay. 

Fun place to work. No day is the same. This company provides the opportunity to help a multitude of customers with their roofing needs, and delivers a quality, high-end product and installation. Fun process and approach when it comes to meeting with homeowners and helping them determine their needs. I thoroughly enjoy my role as senior project manager. 

Plenty of opportunity for upward advancement.  I was hired after my initial interview, and quickly promoted from my initial role. Despite being new to the industry and coming into the job with limited knowledge and understanding, the in-depth training process got me up to speed and prepared me very well for my current role. Great management style - you don't have to worry about attending meetings that are held "for the sake of having meetings" in the way that I have with other companies I've worked for. As with many other companies there are certain times of the year that are busier and other times of the year that are slower. When it comes to the day-to-day work schedule, there is a degree of unpredictability that comes with this role, and each person could make of that what they may.  If you are the type of person that doesn't enjoy doing the same thing every single day, this would work great for you.  Often this job offers full-time pay in hand with essentially part-time hours. Would fully recommend this company, 10/10!

I started working here at the end of Jamurary '24 and working for this company has quite honestly changed my life. I've grown so much as a person thanks to a committed management team that is dedicated to helping me succeed. I was able to be promoted to Manager my 3rd week and ever since, I have truly fallen in love with this job. The work environment is always fired up, always positive, and you are surrounded by a team who only wants to see you bring your best and help you succeed. The pay here is phenomenal, especially since there is so much room for growth here, and you can get out what you put in. If you're looking for somewhere that you can spread your wings and finally get validation for the hard work you put in, then you should work here. The companies core values are what makes it, and the people who give their best here, so successful. As cliche as it sounds, I hope to have a long career here and not only meet, but exceed, all of my goals that I had for myself. If you love a healthy challenge that makes you better yourself daily while enjoying what you do, then give Southern National an honest chance. I haven't regretted it not once. I actually look forward to starting each week and coming into work each day. It doesn't even feel like work, but more like a sport. This is the place to be. 

You are either looking into this job or the hiring manager (Who is a trained salesman) hired you so fast and the pay seems to be good so now you are digging into the reviews hoping it isn't too good to be true. Your first week will be 4 days of training which teaches you how to pitch when someone answers the door and how to spot signs of leaking along with some basic roofing knowledge. After your training, you will start your 2nd week at 11:00 AM at the office where you will waste 2 hours each day that you could be knocking on doors, I also need to point out that the areas the manager chooses are quickly picked and you will either be in a sketchy neighborhood or knocking on renters doors all day getting no after no. KEEP IN MIND YOU NEED 5 LEADS A DAY EVERY DAY TO MAKE $100,000 A YEAR! The bottom note is people don't want you knocking on their door saying a scripted pitch on how the roof is leaking, you are not going to make anything over 45k a year period. Even the top seller wasn't getting but 13 leads a month on top of the $10/hr base pay. Unless you have no bills to pay and want to learn door-knocking DO NOT TAKE THIS JOB!

A typical day starts off mostly the same way everyday. Expected to be punctual. I’ve learned how to express myself a more effective way in life. I’ve also learned, and continue to learn everyday something new that helps me in more ways than just “the job”
From the start I’ve had some of the best management and leaders I’ve ever had as mentors in a work place. If you care and have drive to better yourself management has a clear path fir you to follow for advancement. 
The workplace culture is a mix of friendships and strong bonds forged through rewarding hard work. Everyone is willing and wants to help any team member new or old. I work with a great group of guys that have a positivity towards life that only brings about success. The hardest part of the job is keeping your memory short and skin tough. Allowing average  performance of yourself is easy. You are the only thing that’s in control of you. Staying hungry and wanting more out of yourself with a positive attitude is tough work and it’s not for everybody. 
The most enjoyable part of the day is walking around knowing you made a difference and helped people out. 

My experience at this company was disappointing. Several factors contributed to my dissatisfaction. Compensation was significantly lower than anticipated, with limited opportunities for additional earnings. Schedule management presented challenges, as the individual responsible for scheduling appeared to prioritize their own hours. Furthermore, adherence to labor regulations regarding break times and the use of personal devices for business purposes was inconsistent. Lead management practices were also problematic, with instances of lead attribution that did not accurately reflect individual effort. Employee development and advancement opportunities were minimal. Finally, I found the management style to be unsupportive and focused primarily on short-term profitability rather than employee well-being. Based on these observations, I would advise potential candidates to carefully consider whether this work environment aligns with their professional expectations.

DO NOT WALK INTO THIS JOB WITH BLINDERS ON!!! Manager will SELL you the job! Anyone with any type of sales background will quickly identify that this environment is not somewhere you build a career. Yes, you can make a ton of money here but at what costs?! Positive side is I did learn a ton about the industry and what to definitely lookout for if I decide to pursue another position or company in this industry. The more research and knowledge you acquire the more you will learn how much you were SOLD on the job. 

To touch base about management there is just a complete waste of my time! 
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN WARNED!! The turnover was at a shocking rate I have never seen before. I DO NOT like being lied to about a job! If you want to make some good money while swallowing your pride and dignity then have at it. I am ashamed to admit that working here insulted my intelligence. I should have known better and saw the red flags walking in but it was a unique experience that I can take a few positives away with me. Cons definitely outweigh the pros though.
