Pros

If you are comfortable networking and door knocking 30 hours per week, you have the potential to make some serious money. The team is full of great people who are always willing to help, train, give pointers, etc. These guys are like my family. I wish them the best every day.

Cons

Not all customers understand this is how we make our money, so some will take your knowledge and subscribe online. Weather, light, etc can play mind tricks. You just need to dig deep and push through. If you don't make the sale right away, it can be tricky to go back and get it later.

Pros

Great company with an important mission to increase renewable energy access. Lots of opportunities to learn about the industry and learn new skills. I saw many lower level employees promoted and trained on new roles that will provide a career path in Sunshare and their next roles. Fun and collaborative culture that promotes a startup vibe without the funding concerns of most startups

Cons

The company's growth can cause opportunities as well as challenges.

Pros

Community solar gardens is a cool model. The impact of the work feels good on a social level. SunShare was supposedly the first community solar company, though telling how their community solar peers with normal companies have surpassed SunShare in the market.

Cons

The CEO is an unqualified leader whose entire professional identity begins and ends with this company, whose greatest talent is recruiting strong people to shield him from accountability, and whose leadership appears motivated less by results than by control. Success here has little to do with performance or outcomes — it’s about staying in the CEO’s temporary good graces, which change weekly. Expect moving goalposts, inconsistent priorities, and a culture that rewards compliance over competence. Collaboration is undermined by internal politics and manufactured division. It’s a workplace defined more by fear and manipulation than by accountability or trust.
