      Pros

      It used to mean so much going to work each day

      Cons

      Management incompetent and looks out for themselves. Treats employees harshly with layoffs. Arrogance and poor business development has ruined the EPC side of the company while ignorance and stupidity had forced the company to put all is hope in series 6 modules. MOD+ was a decent idea to stay off with but you gave no backend support whatsoever. My customer support group has a couple dozen people running modules..2 doing EPC warranty...and two doing module performance.. Guess where management cut from....not one person in modules.. This company has limited hope coming in 2018....good luck with that.
