      Pros

      Saving the environment one rooftop at a time. Exciting technology, excellent opportunity. At the end of each day I have helped make a difference.

      Cons

      The company is growing very quickly. That leads to growing pains. But, it is so very worth it.

      Pros

      The medical, dental, vision and other company benefits are very good. Benefits kick in after only thirty days which is awesome.

      Cons

      Low pay, commission levels are very low. Also if you leave the company for any reason you lose all of your pending commissions. Working seven days a week with no days off. The policies and rules are always changing and no one knows what is going on. Very poor communication. Corrupt sales people who will do whatever it takes to make the sale. Upper management turns a blind eye to employees who break company policy or who are involved in corrupt practices as long as they are meeting their sales quota. Sales leads are not distributed evenly, so new employees are at a serious disadvantage to their peers. Super high turn over rate here. No one I worked with has been with the company for more than two years.
