Pros

pay is alright, they tried to have me come in entry level even though I have 5 years of experience. Once, here they "EXPECT" you to share your 5 years of knowledge with no extra pay or even pat on the back so they can make more money. One of the shadiest operations in Solar so far. Benefit are ok Commissions should be higher Never really turn off from the "job" unless you shut off the ipad

Cons

Management feels entitled to your accomplishments and your knowledge and expect you to share it with no extra pay or incentive so they can make more money. Managers are always running around like chicken without heads but not really sure what they actually do. The training from management is minimal and horrid, they expect their seniors to train their people because they are so busy. Everything you do that is innovative or insightful is put on blast to your team with no monetary exchange for these ideas, again so management can make more money and impedes your ability to make more $$ with your ideas and efforts. Leads and Opportunities are stolen by grimy people and management looks the other way as long as they are making their money. Preferential treatment to white employees who are sometimes clueless and have no knowledge who are put in managerial positions as people of color who paid their dues are overlooked. Roles are filled by family members and thus lots of nepotism and favoritism as a result. In kind, people who don't possess the core skills to be able to properly do their jobs are hired because their family member works here and consistently underproduce and keep their jobs while others are being harassed for having a bad few weeks or month. Management at least in Hauppauge needs to be swept and new people with knowledge and passion for their jobs that will put 110% need to replace them, how do you expect your people to give their all when you are only making a 40% effort yourself- Lead by example

Pros

Nothing so far. The company doesn´t offer the minimum to maintain you motivated.

Cons

Pay: The direct deposit comes one week later. Commissions are paid after 2 months. They don't give a sales report with your payroll. Pretty much is what they want to pay you. At the end of the month all the sales data is deleted. The floating holidays always float to their side. Even approved holidays will later won´t be approved. You will end up losing your holidays. They promised to pay double on black Friday. They didn't pay, even though the "promise" is in writing. Commute is very long. They don't give transportation flex account, or anything similar. They pay $15 hour, minimum wage in NY. The commute is 4-5 hours per day depending the store. That's 12 hours or more. You will be receiving less than $10 before tax. Nobody had more than 4 sales per month in all the time I worked for the company. They will deceptively advertise in Indeed that the income is over $5000 a month. They will tell you that you will work in a store closer to home. None of the stores are closer to anything. All the stores are located at the last station of the train, plus bus, plus walking. JFK airport is closer. Awful work environment: polluted air, no heating, no hot or cold water, insecure. Rampant sexual harassment, not only for women, for the males too. Latest hires lasted one day, three days, and one week. The company tolerates sexual harassment. They won't do anything if the complain comes from inside. Home Depot employees had to organize a revolt against a Sunrun employee to force SUNRUN to act. By policy phone use is forbidden, but you'll be calling customers all the time. The iPad provided by the company never works, you'll be using your phone as a hotspot. They won't reimburse you. Bad ethics are widespread in the company, sales teams call themselves snakes, sharks, and similar. Once you generate an opportunity, inside teams will create duplicates very shortly. Same lead will go to one team, then to other team and lastly to "business partners". Partners are usually one person with a website pretending to be a solar installation company. This is not only tolerated by management, it is encouraged. One unique house will show 4 or more "possible sales". There are thousands of business partners, only a handful have the State's certification to operate. They will falsely advertise the solar benefits, monthly pay and details about the solar installation. Customers complain in all stages. Most of them are not aware that they are signing for a 25 year agreement. Sunrun never solved any customer complaint I handed them from the stores.
