Avoid like the plague

Pros

Some of the people are gems. A very small handful.

Cons

Where do I start. 1. Chaos - I never experienced a time when more than half the room was on the same page. This is due to lack of current documentation, zero company wide ongoing training (unless state mandated), and constant "I never said that". Bring a tape recorder to every meeting. 2. Non-competitive pay/benefits - Compared to other companies, very expensive benefits and unrealistic pay/work load expectations. You'd better get a 2nd job. Also, to them, salaried employees do not get paid for days off, unless you have PTO. However, you can and will be asked to work weekends, unpaid for OT. 3. Unprofessional - Yelling and screaming at employees from the tyrannical regime that currently plagues the company. Current employees know who he is. 4. All bosses, no leaders - "Yes Men" and spineless. If you expect your bosses to go to bat for you, good luck. 6. Lack of work-life balance - Be prepared for a literal "eye roll" from leadership if you take a day off or stay home when you're sick. If you compromise and work from home, you'll be minimized publicly in chat in front of the entire company. 7. Spiders, spiders, spiders - Please watch your head and skin when entering the building. The doorways, hallways, stairs, and ceilings are full of spiders. HUGE spiders, some with bodies the size of a quarter. There are so many others, but you get the picture. Avoid like the plague. If you need a solar job, there are dozens of solid companies with a brighter future.

DO NOT WORK HERE

Pros

There are some good people in this company.

Cons

There is 0 integrity within this company. I started with this company when it went by a different name and within the last couple years since it has been under new ownership I have watched it crumble from the inside out. They absolutely do not care about their customers after the sale has been made and they care even less about their employees. The owner has absolutely no knowledge of how a solar company operates and less knowledge of electrical. But he doesn’t involve himself much unless he is dropping off donuts for his under paid and under appreciated employees. The CEO comes off more like a used car salesman. He is more concerned with pumping numbers than quality of work. Again absolutely 0 knowledge in what he is selling. The operations managers, all 4 of them, have nearly no electrical experience and completely rely on the field techs to not only do all the field work but also take on the duties they should be performing. I have worked for this company for a long time and it is extremely disappointing to see the direction it is heading.

Draining and toxic work environment

Pros

Some of the people are great which makes the lack of a work and life balance more tolerable than it'd be otherwise. The starting pay is good but just know that is what you'll likely stay at as long as you're there.

Cons

Covid has made a toxic work environment even worse. Turnover is awful to the point where I stopped learning people's names knowing that they'd probably be gone soon. Like many workplaces, the best people are overlooked and the wrong people are rewarded for their bad behavior. No room for career growth or meaningful advancement. Even if your title changes the pay won't increase and you'll just have more responsibility. Not given what you need to succeed. There's no clear direction or long term roadmap. Your assignment given Monday might change two or three times throughout the week. You might work on a project for two weeks only to find out that it's no longer needed because they're going in a different direction and no one thought to inform you. Incompetent leadership leading to bad hires and work culture.
