Great Part Time
Proximity Marketer (Current Employee), Northborough, MA – May 1, 2013
Pros: lots of downtime (walking), make your own hours, great people
Cons: working sunday mornings
A typical day at work includes a few hours of walking and extensive conversations with homeowners about their windows and any problems they might have.
While working at Andersen I've learned an immense amount of customer service skills along with teamwork qualities. I also, have a much better understanding of the roots of a company and how a positive – more... outlook in one employee can affect the entirety of the operation.
Everyone at the office is upbeat and easy to get along with, I've never found myself conflicting with anyone.
The hardest part of the job is convincing customers with fairly new windows that, because of the product they initially chose, their windows aren't working efficiently. – less

Co-workers nice but everyone is in it for themselves.
Long hours, six day work weeks, no benefits, and lack of work / life balance.
The abiltiy to make money and selling a quality product.

A great place to work all around
Marketing (Current Employee), Columbus, OH – January 22, 2013
Pros: a place where you can apply your skills to their fullest
Cons: a lot of hours, but a great return on your investment.
Professional, fair, always ensuring the happiness of the employee when it comes to time with family. High expectations, but a great return in the work invested. Wonderful individuals to work with. Definately a place I intend to be employed for many many years and suggest anyone who is looking for a position of fullfillment and with a professional and – more... fun setting, this is the place for you. Apply your skills and work hard, but be rewarded for everything you do individually. – less

high pressure sales
Outside sales representative, full-time (Former Employee), Buffalo, NY – January 2, 2013
Pros: can be very lucritive
Cons: pressure to sell, unsteady hours.
There is a lot of pressure to sell at this place. You will be asked to go into peoples homes and try to do whatever it takes to sell them between 10k-30k worth of windows on every appointment. You will not be allowed to sell just 1-2 windows. You will learn a lot about how to sell. There is plenty of education. But if your sales ratio drops to 10% for – more... one month, you will be let go. They go through salesmen VERY fast. – less

Enjoy working with prospective clients to improve the appearance and energy efficiency of their home.
Marketing Specialist (Former Employee), Omaha, NE – November 26, 2012
Pros: able to work my own territory, gas allowance, company get togethers
Cons: working outside in the winter months!
With my job at Renewal by Andersen I was able to select the territory I was going to work in. I would go to neighborhoods where I knew the homes needed to upgrade their windows/doors. By contacting the home owner face to face, I would set up a day and time for one of out salesman to meet with them to and sell the homeowner the best replacement window – more... system on the market. During the summer months the company would hire someone else to canvass, and I helped train them for their job. We had a great sales staff. The hardest part of the job was trying to convince the homeowner that our windows were the best even though they had to pay a little more. The most enjoyable part of my job was the reward I got when the salesman was able to make the sale after I set up the appointment. – less

A place to work and your our limited only by yourself
Lead generation/Team Leader (Current Employee), Austin, Tx – June 26, 2012
Pros: sliding revenue based on production
Cons: too hot outside to work
You get to work outside and you are left to manage yourself. Everyone conducts themselves very professionally. If the weather was cooler I would continue to do this work. It is just too hot.

They went out of bussines because of the managment style
Production coordinator (Former Employee), Colorado Springs – March 3, 2012
Pros: wonderful product -loved my co-workers
Cons: went out of business
I loved my job and the people I worked with.
My boss was never around and the installers did NOT like him or trust him. I had to do his job too most of the time.
The owners lost their ability to buy product and went out of business-wasn't surprising since they let the production manger play golf during work when he wasn't working for one of the employees, – more... who was thee worst installer in the state. The owners made lots of bad decisions like that. – less

Josph – March 7, 2012

RBA uses "Business Partners" to run the retail locations. There are some dealers that have no business running a store and they make RBA look real bad. RBA should do a better job at making sure the dealers are running the business to the same standard as RBS
