      Pros

      Believe in clean energy. If you are 23 years old they will like you. There is business out there. Free Granola and Peanut Butter in the kitchen.

      Cons

      Management is more focused on P&L than p-eople. Pushing for more sales in less time with fewer resources. Seems to be more about the money than the industry. They are running a business not a renewable energy project. Competing for sales with our own associates. Play favorites there. Training is a Train-Wreck.

      Pros

      car, phone, computer that's it.

      Cons

      loooooooooong hours. no support from marketing dept., regional or district managers. HR is a nightmare. you are on your own to develop, generate and find leads. home depot folks are idiots. their sales people know very little about solar pv. they only know how to sell stuff. consumer beware.

      It's alright, silo organization structure.

      Pros

      In sales, flexible schedule, but must stay on top of building business.

      Cons

      Short on leadership, i.e., leadership just depends on the commission structure to motivate subordinates.
