Pros

There are a few really kind, high quality people here. Company is small enough to give you some freedom within your role.

Cons

For the most part, just terrible, terrible management. People are taken advantage of, people’s willingness to work hard is abused, people are not compensated well, HR is a mess and often does not communicate properly. I saw unethical and/or potentially illegal activity several times. Not anywhere near enough people to do the work that needs done and management is far too cheap to hire appropriate help. Expect to work hard, long hours and receive a slap in the face as a thank you. Benefits are pretty awful.

Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts with us. Clearly, your perspective and claims are concerning and I encourage you to reach out to me directly at HumanResoucesTeam@FranlkinEnergy.com for further conversation. We work hard to establish an environment that is engaging and recognizes employees for their contributions, as we know the incredible efforts our team members make each day. We also ask that employees report any unprofessional behavior immediately, as we take any such claims very seriously. We hold our managers and employees to certain standards of conduct that align with and support our company culture or values.

Pros

Low qualification requirements, reasonable compensation, 4 day work week, simple job requirements, opportunity to be passionate about the environment and energy efficiency, minimal interaction with management

Cons

Poor training, unrealistic expectations goals for work time provided, no scheduled lunch breaks, no scheduled bathroom/personal breaks, In-efficient appointment scheduling (over 50% hours worked are spent driving), lack of concern for the environment, reckless disregard for safety (despite aggressive company marketing campaign to advertise their concern for safety), management focused on reducing the organization's liability without regard to employee well being
