Pros

SunShare is a small company where you can have a huge influence on the culture, the direction of the business, and on your own career growth and job responsibilities. This can be stressful, but is also immensely rewarding.

Cons

This is a small and nascent industry, and it takes fortitude and perseverance to withstand the pressures. This can make for some rocky times, and there has definitely been fallout along the way. But the CEO has learned and grown a lot, and as long as he stays focused on the future, there are many (more) successes to be had!

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.
