      Great people, great vision, great product, not enough leads of money.

      Pros

      Most positive group of people I have ever worked with, competitive base, full healthcare almost immediately, dependable employees, great product. There really is no other for solar panels.

      Cons

      Be prepared to work more than 60 hours per week if you count all the time spent on the computer and phone doing customer service and getting the install completed. Company wants you to stand at Home Depot to help another perfectly capable person to get appointments set. So you have double duty: get the appointment, run the appointment. They are hiring too many sales reps too quickly. Only about 20% are making quota & most of them are the veteran sales reps (been there over a year).

      Not a good place to work if you want a life

      Pros

      #1 in their market place.

      Cons

      No work - life balance. Expected to work seven days a week, 10 to 12 hours a day. The only important thing for management is numbers. I worked there ten months and did well with sales, but it wasn't enough. Young Regional Managers who use to be sales people, but don't belong in management because they have no true management experience. Cliquish environment. Constant revolving door of managers and employees.

      Great idea. Bad execution.

      Pros

      It is a rapidly growing business. The work environment is fun. Clearly their take on the Google and Zappos call centers.

      Cons

      They can't seem to keep up with their rapid growth.The training could be so much better. You are never caught up with your work. This place makes you feel like a hamster on a wheel.
