Where to begin...I was one of those people who heard bad things before accepting my offer and thought, "I can handle it, I just need to be positive and work hard," but honestly, there is so much wrong here it is crazy! Sales is the most favored position in the company, but you better be doing well. If not, be prepared for write ups, coaching, performance improvement plans and anything else they can think of to make it easy to get rid of you on a whim. It doesn't matter if your peers are performing lower than you, as long as it appears they are doing their job. No product trading is provided, you are thrown in and have to learn as you go. The training that is provided in your first week is useless. The daily goals are ridiculously unattainable, and there is little compassion for anything. Every project must be touched by the owner in some way, which, for a company of Solar's size is crazy. If the employees were properly trained and then trusted to do their jobs correctly, there would be a lot less issues. Speaking of issues there are tons of them on a regular basis with almost every project that goes through the place. You are encouraged to stay late and work, and for some positions required. You will work hard, you will be stressed, you will become negative because 90% of the employees have nothing good to say about the company either. Benefits are mediocre, pay is below average, commission is pretty much non-existent. They are trying to improve the culture and working environment but for every step they take forward there are 2 or 3 back. Steer clear!
