Pros

Nice brand recognition. Nice company car and nice people to work with. Direct management was great. Very very large company to work for.

Cons

Not enough leads to work. Lots of undelivered promises to sales team. Very high turnover because of lack of leads. Unrealistic expectations from "higher ups"

If you are not working in the field(installer ,surveyor, FST, ETC.) you dont matter. Health insurance is sky high, company does not contribute to anything for retirement.

Pros

I love working for a cause and helping to rid our beautiful planet of the carbon emissions that are destroying it. The industry is coming up on a critical mass and going nowhere but up from here. Merging with Tesla is super exciting too! Cool, this guy loves his job, but is he really making money? The money is amazing! Never thought I would make as much as company CEOs through educating people on the vast benefits of solar energy.

Cons

You must be a self starter for a direct sales position. People that come from a sales background will quickly see that this is the best company to sell the best product in the best market at the best time. You must have a big vision to keep you laser focused through the rejection of the job.
