Pros

This company changed my life. It was a great company to work for several years ago. I’ve worked for Vivint, now Sunrun for close to 10 years. I was attracted to the company because of the culture. It was amazing! The leadership made you feel like we were all in it together. It truly felt like a family. The company invested in it’s people and it showed.

Cons

Now the company is filled with unethical toxic people. Management steals leads from you and goes behind your back to close deals you started. I’ve seen this going on for years now. If you are not Mormon you will not advance into any leadership role. They dangle the proverbial carrot in front of you and constantly push for more output. With the promise of advancement. Only to hire more Mormon men into the leadership positions. In addition there’s a ton of racial and sexual discrimination that goes on within the company. They have been sued in the past for discrimination and more than likely will be sued again.This is just from an employee standpoint. From a customer’s perspective, the company is horrible as well. Project management is atrocious. They make mistakes and don’t take responsibility when there’s a problem. It’s taken years to fix issues and they still don’t get resolved. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone looking to work for them. Nor anyone looking to have them install solar on their home.

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.
