Sigora Solar Reviews

Sigora operated successfully as a boy’s club for years, but now that they’ve got more than 5 employees, it’s time to change. Many of the people that have risen into leadership roles have done so not out of competence but simply because they outlasted people that wanted more from an employer. There is massive turnover, and instead of reflecting on why people leave, leadership tell themself a narrative that people “couldn’t keep up with the intensity of a growing business.” I’ve worked in plenty of intense work environments where people work long hours but stick around because they feel valued and respected. The benefits, while changing over time, still leave so much to be desired; the health insurance deductibles and max out-of-pocket are awful, and retirement and paid leave are lacking. The faster the company grows, the more corners are being cut to benefit the bottom line. I will not be surprised if this company finds themselves in the middle of a lawsuit either for a crappy installation or an HR issue. I’m not just one disgruntled employee; every week, I hear some different colleague complaining about feeling undervalued.

Starting in November 2022, they've laid off about 50 people (already a small company to start-- maybe 200 ees) and have given extensive extra tasks to the employees left. However, they've promoted about 7 people all of which are men, and have given no plans of how they're going to get themselves out of the 13m debt they've acquired. The founder and owner of the company is now the acting CEO (not listed correctly on Glassdoor), though his tyrannical and manic behavior is more well-suited for a mental institution than a work place as he seems much too comfortable using verbal abuse-- and in one case physical abuse-- tactics to get his employees in line. They have decided they are looking to go public soon, however have given no specific plans on how this will happen, as it seems the leadership is just floundering around trying to figure out their right hand from their left. They currently have had to halt their installations since they aren't able to get materials necessary due to the high invoices owed to their suppliers. Extremely toxic work environment.
