Pros

There is definite potential to grow here. People are treated well, your schedule is very flexible.

Cons

The lead generation and sales teams are separated when they should really be combined. People are now being let go left and right so they can cut down to a position deal.

Pros

Exciting time because of the Tesla merger. Helping people save money on electric bill feels good.

Cons

Disjointed management and an unrealistic quota pressure makes for high turn over and low moral. Commissions very low and hard to reach. Also having many employees working just under full time so as not to get them benefits. Scheduling all over the place.
