Pros

I started working for Vision Solar back in May of 2014. At the time I was a college student looking for something to pass the time while I wasn't attending classes. It was a great job at that time of my life, but i couldn't see myself progressing there. It nice because the schedule was flexible and they had free food, but what broke college student wouldn't want food? Plus they had ping pong and foosball for your break times. I had a lot of friends at the time working there and i made some great relationships and enjoyed with the people i worked with there.

Cons

I felt like i left at the calm before the storm (May 2015). I honestly am writing this review because I could tell that so many of their reviews from this summer were fake, so i have to do my part and let a true voice be heard. It felt as though Matt Rassmussen and his crew of boys weren't distributing the pay equally to their employees. Maybe they did to their favorite employees, but not the regular working class people. This was obvious from the fact that everyone there probably was making probably making half of what they could at Vivint at any position...except for the the Matt Rassmussen and crew... who are busy are showing off their gated community homes, their new Tesla's, BMW's and Land Rovers that seem to change every 3 to 6 months. Their past is super sketchy too, just google 'Thrive Learning Matt Rassmussen'. Like i said, i left before the calm before the storm, because about 90% of the people that i knew that worked there don't work there anymore. I felt that much of their product/work to their clients was the bare minimum, cheapest solution and possibly unethical.

Pros

The pay depends on what you put in. I've seen a range of $100 to $3,500 a week. Averaging $7k to $9k a month. It's a fun work environment, lots of bonuses and prizes, a big territory and kind homeowners.

Cons

50% of your deals cancel. Meaning only 50% of deals make it to install. So as a Setter, the majority of your compensation is from sit pay and contract pay as opposed to kilowatt pay. The reason for low retention is homeowners need a 680 or above to qualify so you get a lot of failed credits. Also, the installation process is around 90 days, Giving homeowners a lot of time to cancel. Management is controlling Not much work life balance
