Pros

Great company and great mission. Depending on the manager you can have a really great work environment, a lot of support from management and a lot of fun. Plus if you're great at the job you can make a lot of money. And the product is easy to sell because it ACTUALLY helps the customer. Flexible scheduling.

Cons

It's sales and I hate sales. Sometimes you work late or long hours to accommodate customer schedules. It's a saturated business compared to a few years ago. A lot more competition.

Pros

Extensive training program, Good opportunities to learn about the residential solar field.

Cons

Inexperienced management, managers that are only concerned with advancing their careers, with no concern for employees or customers. Dishonest managers at all levels. More interest in quantity over quality.
