Pros

No micro-managers, compensation has been fair to good, constant workflow, ability to work from home/remote.

Cons

No one is held accountable for anything. Lack of advancement. Reduction in compensation, while workload increases. No work/life balance. Lack of leadership and direction. Management is Top Heavy. Advancement is not based on education, experience, results or seniority. HR is clueless, doesn't follow its own employee handbook rules.

Pros

Good company with competitive compensation. Great group of individuals to work with and they are concerned with your happiness.

Cons

With the current solar market and a lot of head count reduction in the last year, it is easy to stress about job security.
