Pros

Many members of the team have been in the industry. They are experts in their field and have a passion for what they do.

Cons

Where to begin? - Zero support from the corporate team at Solenis. Most of the business for the pools division is targeted at consumers and is different the rest of Solenis. It needs funding to support the brands and differentiate the products for consumers. They don't sell themselves to consumers. The sales team needs SUPPORT. Many of the talent from sales and marketing left this fall because pools leadership team just talk to each other, play favorites, don't listen to the team regarding the needs of the business and refuse to fund the business. The marketing lead continues to push a chemistry that needs money to differentiate it with consumers but won't push for the funding to be able to do so. - A culture that is driven by sitting on zoom calls with the expectation that people will be able to keep up on email and the crisis of the day when they are either in non stop meetings or trying to be out with customers - No support from the corporate team. None. Need help from HR? You're on your own,

Pros

Paycheck, decent (Though expensive) insurance and good PTO (If you can take it). Coworkers and technicians are exceptional.

Cons

Absolute absence of work/life balance, PE company focused on keeping SG&A costs to a bare minimum and unwilling to increase headcount to handle increased business, no training program, no coherent plan for cruise business investment, no regard given to feedback to director level, say that comp time is given but it is impossible to claim with volatile environment. Did I mention the expectation of 24/7 availability for contact and work availability? Run, do not walk, away from these people.
