Pros

• The company operates in a growing renewable energy industry • Coworkers at the frontline level were supportive and collaborative • The role provided exposure to complex customer situations and problem solving • Remote and virtual training options were available

Cons

• The role changed significantly from what was presented during hiring • A position described as stable was in fact a short term pilot program • The role was Customer Engagement Specialist in title but often functioned as customer retention • Promised benefits such as tuition reimbursement were later suspended • Equipment issues were frequent and unresolved for long periods • Workplace culture emphasized aggressive performance pressure over quality • Ethical concerns raised by employees were ignored • Performance metrics were enforced inconsistently and felt retaliatory • Advancement opportunities were discussed but never posted • Entire departments were eliminated and their work reassigned without added compensation • Benefits were reduced while the company reported strong financial results • Strict tardiness enforcement did not account for outdated systems

Pros

Most stable of the sector Many talented people Medium/high potential for innovation and exciting new products

Cons

There are many talented leaders, but some are completely incompetent, particularly some long-tenured nepo middle management that have no transferable skills to what they manage. Start paying talented ICs what they’re worth and cut the management bloat. The company is always cheaping out to appease shareholders. Small policy changes like delayed 401k matching, blanket RTO, taking away internet/phone reimbursement, and poor raises erode compensation and morale. If people are your assets and you pay for performance then walk the talk.
