Pros

Co Workers on your level are great,

Cons

All middle and upper management do is delegate, asks for reports and never understand why things are they way they are. Sales team gets babied and has all of back end operations clean up their messes while collecting commission. No one actually approaches you on issues they may have with your performance and how you can get better. Hoard a file of issues on you and just terminate you, no warnings and no write ups. Company seeks to grow but for only the selected group. Appearance is more favored then results and productivity. Once you question upper management processes and procedures you are a bad apple. Even if things don't make sense and you want clarity. Work gets piled onto high performers while immediate team members do not have an equal work load. When you ask for work to be distributed out evenly you are labeled "not a team player". Overall stay away. Good for people that like to keep their head down and not care about growth. Workhorse and burnout highly sought after.

Pros

Okay benefits Great coworkers That’s kinda it. Future looks bleak.

Cons

Constantly disorganized and underpays for the amount of work heaped on each individual due to dwindling staff. Firings happen seemingly at random, other people are quitting due to hostile company culture. Leadership is often lost in the weeds, and customers are unhappy. Rampant nepotism and conflicts of interest. Middle management is incompetent but really good at kissing up to the right people for security. Company cares more about appearances than results. Expectations and responsibilities are inconsistent. Underhandedly discriminatory to certain identities. They insist that we’re growing but our staff is smaller than ever, we lose someone nearly every 2 weeks. There are limited paths to upward mobility unless you were hired in from another solar company or know someone in charge. Most positions are dead-end. They expect you to care about the business as if it is your own without the benefits of being an owner. They will tout one employee’s success story of upward mobility or monetary gain to new hires as if that is the norm… it is not. Hollow gestures of gratitude from senior leadership that do nothing to actually help the people who work for them.
