Pros

If you read every bad review every employee has left this company, you’ll see a dog and pony show response from an overpaid and under educated office worker/social media representative promising how much better things are now that they’ve “made changes”, but you’ll notice an obvious lack of positive reviews.

Cons

The entire experience working here was a con. I never should’ve left the company I worked for to come here. Biggest waste of me and my family’s time I could’ve made.

Pros

Sometimes you get half decent wages

Cons

Bonus pay structure allows the company to have complete control over your income stream, essentially allowing them to take away half of your paycheck away for any reason they deem appropriate. They fire just about anyone who speaks out against any of the obvious problems in inefficiencies in management and show absolute favoritism for the most incompetent workers on the production side. Management spent more time smoking cigarettes, sharing meth, and working on their personal side businesses while on the clock ignoring their basic duties when needed. The CEO is basically a nepo child without any real life skills and lacks competency and leadership qualities while relying on the expertise and advice of people who openly admit that the industry uses the bottom line employees like expendable objects and to leave while you still can, in the orientation weekly meetings. Communication was excruciatingly slow if you tried reaching out to anyone in the main office, which seemed more like a social club than a work place, full of people who’s main job duties were to look at busy as humanly possible while accomplishing nothing. HR staff were essentially full time gaslighters engaging in as little as possible when real problems arrived internally. Most importantly, safety guidelines were aggressively enforced by incompetent safety staff who were essentially too intellectually challenged to provide any other form or value to the company and retained their positions through secret surveillance and policy-breaking tactics like filming while driving company vehicles. The best part is the safety standards would essentially prohibit their projections from being reached had we complied, with the threat of being terminated if you didn’t. 3 months into the job it seemed you were either a favorite who got to do whatever you want, or you were lined up to be fired by death squad whenever they felt like it, sense you’d be fired for not following safety or fired for not preforming enough labor because of following the safety guidelines. Even near-death experiences could easily be deemed as self inflicted despite themselves knowing their projections wouldn’t be met without them given the obvious dangers associated with installing roof-top systems. They didn’t care if you lived or died. You are replaceable. Don’t be fooled by their promises of endless growth and opportunity to rank up, it’s all a lie.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with us. We have recently put a new management team in place and restructured our PA office. We have already seen positive improvements from these changes. We also have a new HR Operations team conducting a comprehensive review of all company policies and procedures to ensure operational efficiency while protecting employee well-being. Our operational staff plays a crucial role in securing projects, preparing them for installation, and scheduling efficiently to keep our installers, technicians, and electricians busy. The team bonus structure is based on clearly defined metrics and provides opportunities for additional, but not guaranteed, compensation. We take great pride in being an industry leader in safety. We have a state-of-the-art training facility and every new employee is required to complete, and pass, Lumina’s comprehensive safety training before going out into the field. Our safety leaders, along with the Field Management and HR Operations teams, are continuously reviewing safety practices to identify areas for improvement. While we recognize that we’ve fallen short in certain areas, we’ve made substantial changes and are committed to providing a healthier, safer, and more supportive work environment for all employees.
