Pros

Good chances for advancement. I started entry level and by the end of my 18 months was managing a team of six. I appreciated their focus on training and developing talent and offering me a chance to to bigger things as much as the raises. I still have a lot of friends there. See them whenever I'm back on the east coast.

Cons

Not much. Canvassing isn't for everyone but I really enjoyed talking to people. Similarly not everyone wants to talk about solar but had some genuinely hilarious, fun conversations at doors and during in home consultations (my job).

Pros

Working with customers to get the best makes work fun for me. That’s encouraged at Embark, not brushed off. Each of my customers deserves their perfect fit. Love having my pick of best options to do that. Gives me confidence seeing how hard our team works to set me up to succeed. I’d go the extra mile anyways. Awesome knowing I owe them that, too. Real proud of the folks I saw start as lead generators who earned the responsibility of managing a team.

Cons

Solar's a ton of fun. Doing it right takes longer. But that's the way it should be. Hard work and attention to detail.

Pros

I've been working at Embark for about 2 months, and I absolutely love the work environment. All of my coworkers as well as senior management are supportive, kind, and very fun people while maintaining total professionalism and appropriate standards for work. There are ample opportunities for growth, and I appreciate their commitment to hiring from within and giving entry level canvassers a chance for promotion very quickly. The pay is excellent, even the starting rates. It exceeds any other canvassing job I've found. This is a solid team with a commitment to bringing solar to our communities, to help homeowners save money and care for our planet.

Cons

We work in all types of weather, so it's often cold. But it's definitely worth it and we are paid well for canvassing.
