Pros

The priority is doing what's best for the customer and the environment. We offer customers the lowest rate in solar with the best equipment and the highest referral amount. It is great to be able to make a difference while having a great career. Also, the team is really tight and a lack of respect for coworkers isn't tolerated. Clear standards for upward mobility.

Cons

Not having a glassdoor presence cost me a sale. In several years, there were no reviews and one bad employee writing a pair of bad reviews even though he got fired for his terrible behavior, swayed a customer.

Pros

Everyone gets hired. Also, if you are struggling with weight issues and can't afford a gym, the fact that you are walking about all day and earning no money should help you drop a few.

Cons

Horrible product to sell. No one takes you seriously. ...Customers or interviewees. It's actually so laughable that this company exists. About one mile away from solar city's headquarters, and 30 miles from Sungevity, SunRun, Viviant. Also, the people working at the company don't seem to buy into the product either. They are all poorly dressed, fake and in some awful multi level marketing pyramid scheme so they have to fake it till they make it. Run as fast as you can before you lose your soul

Hey folks, we expect this review to be removed for it's many erroneous statements, but if you're reading this, here is what you need to know: "everyone gets hired." False. We've hired about 4 people in the past 200 resumes we have received. We are actually very picky. "Horrible product"- this is an opinion statement and everyone's entitled to one, but we have to argue this since we sell solar panels, which save people money as well as help the environment. "The people don't seem to buy into the product." - False. We are SO into it and fully believe solar is changing the world for the better. "multi level marketing pyramid scheme" - Nope. We are a traditional business which pays employees a traditional W2 paycheck. We do not ask them to recruit friends for our business, we do not require any type of buy-in or payment to join our company. This is the most frustrating part of the review because it makes no sense how anyone could think that who has actually worked with us. We believe this review was left by an employee who was let go for several reasons, and who had the intention to damage our company name.

Pros

Getting fresh air and exercise walking house to house cold calling potential customers.

Cons

1st interview was intriguing, so I decided to return for the second. Bad mistake. We met at Starbucks, & They had me drive myself behind one of the senior associates to an appointment selling their bottom tier outdated equipment. It was an hour 20 minute drive thru traffic, & by the time we got there I was having second thoughts. To be polite, that was the most awkward situation I've ever been in. She introduced me as a new employee, yet I knew zero about the product, the sales pitch, or the procedure to install their product. She kept on throwing out numbers, & the elderly lady seemed overwhelmed, but finally gave in after easking me what I thought about the product. The only honest thing I could tell her is that if it's saving the environment then why wouldn't she go for it? Honestly, after looking thru the brochures of the product I decided I could not sell such inferior solar systems with a good conscience, & I probably wouldn't be able to fool anyone who had done a little research on their own into buying the systems. If a normal day consisted of sitting thru over an hour of traffic to get to an appointment, lying to a potential customer about our inferior product, & possibly losing money on the many gallons of gas I wasted to get there without making a penny of the customer did not buy the system, then this definitely is not the company for me.
