Beware
Appointment Setter (Former Employee) - Lenexa, KS - 1 April 2019
I have worked in a lot of call centers and thus by far was the worse. They had roaches galore! Roaches were infested in “our” kitchen and they were even in the call center area... On coworkers desks and computers! The supervisor didn’t care and wanted us to overlook it. Gross! The roaches took over our water machine and we would have dead baby roaches in our cups from tht machine!!! If your not on the main supervisors butt u will be fired. They don’t offer real training just shadowing and once your on the phone if your not setting 4 appointments a day you’ll be fired. They also want you to make at least 300 dials per day. This job was beyond stressful for no reason. 2 other new people were fired smh. The supervisor is fake and thinks her stuff don’t stink but they definitely do you a favor by letting you go.
Pros
Hour lunches, some cool coworkers
Cons
Everything else

Still needs a little work on process
Home Improvement Consultant (Former Employee) - Lenexa, KS - 28 April 2016
Scheduling is a little awkward and is sometimes not entirely accurate. You can work independently but only under the guidelines of the way they have always done things. Not really working to improve the standards just maintain the status quo.
Pros
Independent work environment
Cons
"We've always done it that way........."

Difficulty with canvassing in the snow
Canvasser (Former Employee) - Lenexa, KS - 24 January 2014
I learned a lot about sales work. What else can I say to fill up this block. No benefits and too few hours. Hazardous working conditions in that people would chase you away from their doorstep. With these rough economic times, a lot of people do not have the money to purchase items, particularly door-to-door. I wanted to spend my time looking for a decent job.
Pros
A job
Cons
No beneftis, too few hours, hazardous conditions

Excellent workplace for the physically fit.
Cavansser (Former Employee) - Lenexa, KS - 14 January 2013
You show up on time and get dropped off in neighborhoods in pairs. You walk door to door asking home owners if they would like free consultations. We would be in the field for 5 hours getting one break about halfway through the shift.I learned to not be shy when talking to various people about home improvements.The management will go out in the field with the canvassers, making management more personal. The coworkers are also great bunch of people all working towards the same goal. We were all equal. Everyone had to make the same quota each night. Failure is not gaining the home owner's information. The most enjoyable part would be the freedom of movement, being able to talk to people one after another.
Pros
you got paid extra for hot sets, consultations, and a percent of the sale.
Cons
one bathroom break, worked in all climate conditions, you have to maintain a certian quota each night.
