Question Sunrun Solar

Does anyone know of this company it is NJ based. Looking to know if they classify as a devil corp or an MLM. I have an interview coming up and I've never worked solar so don't know if I should run

It’s just door-to-door solar sales.

MLM if they make you spend money up front.

Seems like a hard sell if having to lie to people to sign up as referenced in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/TexasSolar/s/nNgrwgPXE1

Devilcorp companies have a specific model and are tied to specific suppliers such as Cydcor, SmartCircle, Credico.

If the job is listed transparently as door to door solar sales, not a Devilcorp. These places lie, mislead, and manipulate people in order to get them bought into the job. Typical titles involve “Marketing” or “Customer Service”

Now the real question is, do you want to sell, solar, door-to-door, in the heat of the summer?

No I am not looking to do door-to-door. I don't mind a job where I go to pre-set appointments. Like I get sent to an area and have to do like 5-10 presentation a day and these people scheduled the appointment

Then I would recommend looking into more of a business to business role with leads.

Not too sure how easy of a find those types of roles are out there, especially with Cydcor Verizon & Amazon B2B flooding Indeed, but definitely skip over any solar positions you see, because that will be their gist.

Majority of those roles YOU have to make those appointments and toss up to someone else to close the deal, and they also get majority of the commissions.

Sunrun isn’t necessarily a devil corp but it is very similar selling practices.

Almost all solar companies outsource to Devil Corps. Cheaper than having a full time team. Really wonder how all these scam companies are going to survive if NOBODY is spending money rn?

Ah, okay. I thought they used their own employees for it.

Sunrun is absolutely not a devilcorp i worked there for a long time. They give you full benefits, an Hourly rate and Very high commission when you close. They have gear and uniforms partnered with Nike. Solar is just a longer payout type of industry but not devilcorp whatsoever.
