Pros

Work life balance Standard work week Good experience in Renewable Energy Strong corporate mission and vision

Cons

Benefits are just OK (high deductible and out of pocket max for families) Pay is just OK (Negotiate your offer!) Career development and training almost non existent (no investment in skills development) Opportunities most readily available for Project Managers, Engineering and Finance backgrounds. Everyone else has to work harder to find a good role. High Turnover Silos across organizations creates duplicative work and lack of engagement and collaboration. Technology organization unorganized and unresponsive

Pros

Work-life balance, okay benefits, and cemented impact on the community

Cons

Because the company has a bottom line, promotional paths aren't really a thing beyond individual contributor to manager. I don't know what the next level up would be besides that.
