Pros

The people. Everyone that works at the corporate office clearly enjoys what they do, has passions outside of work, and has fun while working hard. No one walks away from a challenge, and is eager to collaborate on projects outside their job description. In an industry where there is constant change, it's nice to work in an environment where the people are both grounded and fun. The job. Because the company is still pretty small, I've gotten to work with virtually everyone on some sort of project. Everything moves rapidly, and projects vary greatly, but the flexibility of working on new and exciting stuff everyday is awesome.

Cons

Somewhat risky startup environment. Benefits are good, not great. Not a huge emphasis on personal growth and development at the corporate level.

risk of awkward/hostile interactions, exhausting to communicate patiently with everyone, bonus dependent not just on your work but also on the house's eligibility which is not entirely within your control

Pros

Flexible hours for students & high energy team members make this an attractive employment option for younger applicants. Promoting cheaper energy alternatives is beneficial both for the environment and consumers. You're not a salesman, all you do is generate viable leads.

Cons

Canvassing can be difficult in a market already inundated by companies trying to sell anything related to solar energy. Scripts can be a bit awkward and wordy. Although the program administrators may have approved the script, verbiage can be misleading, and in at least one instance altogether erroneous. There's insufficient transparency between the various positions and company practices. With current company restructuring, hopefully this will be rectified. Meeting the established weekly quota can be difficult. There is an element of luck involved, although there are many other factors that play into it. There's a very high OS rotation, meaning that most won't be with the company for very long. As such, bonuses aren't something that should be counted on as you must be a current employee to be eligible when the requirements are met and the company can pay it. If you have a tendency to let your mood affect your social interaction, you'll struggle when confronted with rude residents. The company claims to value integrity, but the ethical bankruptcy of a few has permeated every level.
