Pros

Working for a company that wants to change the world and do good by lowering the fossil fuel emissions and introducing clean solar energy to the masses.

Cons

Leads are old and recycled. Heavy encouragement from management to go door knocking and phone book cold calling to earn a decent living. Half the time when you sell a solar job it goes into cancelation for a large amount of reasons that are out of your control. Tree shading, roof is to old, attic has asbestos, and greedy utility companies that lose or slow the paperwork down to months. Remember you only get paid when the solar panels are installed.

Pros

great coworkers - smart and dedicated to their work, intelligent and funny. name of the company on your resume

Cons

Management doesn't like people who tell the truth, they are more into surrounding themselves and supporting people who say what they want to hear. It's normal to have someone from the management team yell and put down the employees as if it was not a big deal.
