      Pros

      what your doing as a company makes everything worth it. being at the forefront of the solar energy market and bringing it to homes is awesome. no better product in the world.

      Cons

      hours are long if you have family the days are long but the rewards are great as well. and you ll have the money to enjoy your time off.

      Pros

      Great people, interesting company, fun work environment, high growth company.

      Cons

      After seeing many friends get fired (from all types of jobs, not only sales) there was a palpable sense of distrust among employees about management. Additionally, many in management appear to have gotten promotions from their 'bro-ness' rather than from intellect or ability. There are of course exceptions, many people are very intelligent and qualified, but overall I was never impressed with mid management at SCTY.

      Pros

      Great Product, Awesome Marketing plan and business structure, they care about their employees and customers. If you look at any negative views on yelp Peter Rive part owner of the company responds to every single person. I can contact Peter and Lyndon Rive at any point with suggestions or improvements. Everyone listens. We all work together in harmony. I have been waiting a long time to find a company that has the correct strategic mindset, good ethical and moral structure. This is it.

      Cons

      They are almost too generous, I am not used to it. Unlike the companies I work with in the past. I was very skeptical, but after being with this company for 3 months and massive research this company is well on their way to being the biggest utility in the US and I am glad to be apart of the ride.
