Hard, but cool.

Pros

You can literally do whatever you want, and take whenever you want, so long as you hit quota. That's the big key.

Cons

The Solar market is starting to get saturating and most people who have gone solar, have gone solar or heard about it. It's now become pretty hard to find solid deals, or even larger deals.

Pros

I liked the work and the guys I worked with.

Cons

We were out in the field away from the office permanently doing commercial work, the only time we saw management was when we'd raised enough cane that they felt obligated to come see us. They often put us in positions we shouldn't have been in. For instance safety wasn't always done to OSHA standards but we were expected to do the work regardless. They didn't pay us the bonuses we'd been promised, and they're excuse was continually "we're working on it." Then they slashed our hours without warning, and didn't pay us for the time we worked. We were a traveling crew, and sometimes our per diem would show up late, or our rooms wouldn't be paid for and we had to do it for ourselves. Our emails went ignored. It definitely felt like no one cares about us.
