Pros

Performance is rewarded over seniority, experience or politics. If you're a high performer you're going to love it here. Mission-driven company where entire organization rallies around making the world better. Unlike other places I've worked that claim to be changing the world, Sunrun really is. Senior management team is smart about strategy and is building business to win in the long-run. This means not making short-term tradeoffs that create buzz but not earnings. You're given as much responsibility as you want. This is a great place for A players to get experience above and beyond their years. Sunrun spends time developing their people in ways that even much bigger companies do not. Frequent and meaningful 1-on-1s, actual leadership development program with a real curriculum, great access to senior management. You're going to get all the tools you need here to grow your career.

Cons

Performance-centric culture means if you're not good at your job you're going to feel some pressure to improve. Sunrun will give you the support you'll need, but it's up to you to nail your job. People who don't are going to leave for organizations with a lower bar.

Pros

Pay per hour isn’t bad and you just kind of walk around the store and no one from the company will really check up on you besides whoever else is scheduled with you

Cons

Such a disorganized company. The stores you get sent too is based on your address I had put a different home address for personal reasons and explained I actually lived somewhere else said they’d made accommodations, they lied and didn’t even though they could’ve. They change their standards whenever they want I got fired because of a requirement they changed mid employment, I was making the requirements that was told to me when I first got hired but after a month they decided to change it and let me go the same day because I “wasn’t meeting that requirement” when it literally was just made up. So many pointless meetings everyday where they just repeat the same stuff everyday. The only successful people at this position are people who constantly harass customers in the store and so many people would get banned from certain stores due to complaints but the company will not punish them or anything if anything they almost encourage this behavior. Do not work for this company they’re a scam. They say they offer a “rate reduction” program to homeowners but it isn’t, they just want to get people trapped in a long contract for years that they just keep raising prices. They are not an honest company. The hours are terrible it is mandatory that you work every weekend and they make it a huge deal if you try to take it out saying you can get written up for it.
