      Pros

      Lots of people who are passionate about the company and spreading solar energy. Good management in my experience. Company promoted from within if performance warranted it.

      Cons

      It seemed like the company was moving in the direction of dramatically cutting costs with no foresight on how it would hurt the company's future performance. The general problem of publicly traded corporations putting profits before everything else.

      Pros

      Solar panels help the environment

      Cons

      Company is very unorganized, they screw permits and paperwork up constantly. The Leadership is terrible, they dont care if youre up to date on training and even want you to comb over contracts to get sales. Most people working there could care less about helping the environment and are all about money. You will be fired for missing quota, or worse, you could be laid off without notice like I was. Last, they didn't even send me my tax info, I had to send 3 emails thus far and it angered me to the point of writing this review. If you still want a job with them, just tell them you want to make a lot of money.
