      Pros

      Good benefits Unbelievable work-life balance Solid industry Vacation time Great 401K match I would define Solar as the golden handcuffs. It's a great place to work, but you are always yearning for more. They give you just enough to be satisfied and that's it.

      Cons

      Promotions/Raises are based on years of service opposed to performance Hard to implement change Old Technology No incentive to be a above average worker.

      Pros

      Friendly people who are helpful and generally want to do the right thing. Great benefits and stability. Easy to move around and try different positions.

      Cons

      The company has outgrown the small company feel over the past 5 years and now is bogged down in red tape and its difficult to get anything done.
