Pros

being in the renewable energy field. benefits were not badly priced but benefits department is a joke to handle anything. very easy job, ridiculously easy job (brainless)

Cons

pay for most in the company is very poor. Very few make over 100k as i did. the company only cares about numbers. customer service employees job quality and safety all take the back of the bus compared to the numbers of installs. poor management, people in positions they shouldnt be. even the ceo only care about numbers issue brought to their attention they just sweep it under the solar panel. lots and lots of waste. extremely overwhelmed and unprepared way too many cons to list. i had bought stock in this company before i was an employee but sold it while i was working there as i became aware that this company is not going to last. all around every employee i have spoke with has nothing but bad things to say about it but at the same time dont want to leave until they get another job. turnover rate is high and most of the guys they hire should not have a job.

Pros

Regardless that other competitors in the area were cheaper, it was still possible to save people some type of money.

Cons

The field manager's are a bunch of idiots that don't care about your personal life even though you are an independent contractor. If you give 3 months to build a pipeline, don't ask till the 4th month why numbers haven't come through.
