Pros

It is hard to say what the pros of working for this company are. If you enjoy working for an Elon Musk wannabe, this is the company for you. Commercial Energy's CEO Ron, who also owns the company, is a narcissist. One morning during my second week on the job, Ron called me into his office to brag about himself. He told me all about how wealthy he is and how he hangs out with celebrities. He made me stop what I was working on so he could tell me how amazing he is. His management team is not any better. The managers and executives treat the employees like they are children. They will make you feel like an idiot if you make a mistake. The male managers are disrespectful to women. There have been several occasions where I was present at a meeting with only men in the office. The managers would crack misogynist type jokes, completely disregarding the fact that there are women in the office working just as hard as the men. I was shocked to discover how arrogant and disrespectful the managers and sales team are.

Cons

The CEO sets the tone for this office. That tone is very intense and negative. His management team follows his lead as if he is a king. The lower level employees are treated as if they are ignorant peasants. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY.

Pros

They make payroll every payday. Other than that, I can't site another positive thing to say about CE or the management team.

Cons

These guys are super controlling. They manage the business like we are a bunch of kindergarteners. They micro manage and think they are the next apple. Not going to happen in this industry or with this management team. Please know what you are getting into before you do. Leaving the office before 6:30pm or without Ron's permission is not tolerated by management regardless of when you get there. I have first hand knowledge that they are creating the positive reviews on this site. Just look at the turn over in employees as an indicator of a quality work place. Some of us can't leave but those who can, do.

Pros

I don't see any, unless you live in Oakland or like looking at the Oracle Arena. Their offices are not bad, the building itself is a little old compared to others I've worked at.

Cons

I've seen things like abuse from the bosses. Since they pay employees from their pockets they feel they own them and treat them like servants, and worse. Lots of mood swings - from the good to the ugly, really ugly - like frequent shouting matches among the execs, put downs and the likes...
