Pros

Many intelligent and incredibly hardworking people through mid-level and bottom levels of organization. Upward mobility for folks who put in the work. This company is a good place to spend mid-career in the green industry but don’t expect much training or development.

Cons

Executive leadership and strategy is incredibly short-sighted and unsustainable, prioritizing monthly/quarterly profits above everything else, including long term viability of the business. Workloads are insane, they’ll bleed you dry and won’t even say thanks.

Pros

Good employees. Standard benefits package. No cap on commissions. Occasional catered meals.

Cons

Unfortunately, as with any large publicly traded company the goal is to keep investors pleased and there is high pressure to perform and grow business in an economic climate where stability is more realistic than growth. The company is structured by different branches, that function as their own cost center while reporting numbers to corporate. This structure makes sense on paper, but unfortunately leads to fractured relationships between branches and departments, leading to a loss of potential revenue. There is favoritism with the top earners being handed their accounts and not having to do much actual hunting or prospecting. Health insurance is very expensive with high deductibles. Usage of company car is deducted from paycheck. A large majority of what is performed could be considered "field work" that most companies would hire hourly employees to do and would qualify as overtime.
