Pros

High-growth company with lots of autonomy and lots of opportunity to grow and expand if you are looking for it. No time for micro-management. Open to new ideas and trying new things. The people who work there are united by the company's mission making it a place to feel great about working for.

Cons

Company may be running out of money. Direction changes frequently. company run almost entirely by men making it difficult for women to be successful in leadership roles without a fight. No employee review process so you have to really push for promotion and raises. HR doesn't have a clue what they are doing.

Pros

The biggest pro is once you reach 90 days you receive a company vehicle, gas card and maintenance card. The company provides you all the tools you need to do your job which is great.

Cons

Horrible lower to mid level management. You are just a number to this company now. Turn over is way too high. No time off (expectation is to work 6 days per week and 10-12 hours per day. No managerial support (mine is an outright liar) the pay is not good enough for the amount of work they expect. You can make a lot more money at other companies. HR does nothing to assist employees when they are needed. Solar prices are amongst the highest and they install on the least amount of roof tops.
