Pros
Great HQ location at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore. There are a handful of competent, dedicated energy professionals committed to the mission of reducing carbon emissions and saving the planet.
Cons
The "leadership" doesn't know how to lead. I never once heard any GM or VP involved in an actual sales cycle. For that matter, I never even heard one pitch demand response. Pipeline management is a concept lost on the entire executive team, opting instead for a fire drill at the end of the year. It creates an environment of zero accountability and no opportunity to improve as an organization. It's a lazy approach that leaves the few people who actually contribute value to the sales efforts wondering what their bosses get paid to do all year. Come commission time, don't expect to get paid accurately, or on time. If you're into giving your employer interest-free loans while they figure out how to cut a check - this is the place for you. Annual goals are handed down a few months before the yearly deadline and throttled up or down without explanation. The benefits are mediocre and not aligned to a carbon-neutral effort. There's no bump for EV ownership or solar deployment. Zero incentive for upgrading your home or transport to reduce carbon emissions. The org doesn't practice what it preaches which is a big consideration in the energy space, as most companies are providing these incentives. CPower feels more like a hedge fund that discovered it can profit from energy management, rather than a driving force for grid modernization and efforts to curb climate change.
