Pros

They have decent installations which are average industry standard. Meaning they hit the roof eventually within a few months, and they don't destroy the house in doing so.

Cons

Which department you work for and how much money you make depends on who hired you. Do not accept a job as a direct door to door sales rep. Take leads or find another company. Bro culture with Hype meetings excessively. Way too many unnecessary meetings. Sometimes they had "daily check ins". The reality is they were ways for the managers who didn't do much but collect overrides to show that they were doing something. (see below) Too many managers who are not productive taking overrides reducing your commissions and causing inflated prices for the homeowners. All for the service of holding hype meetings and toughen up talks to get you to go sell, sell , sell. Was not a fan of the CEO at all. Completely tone deaf when it came to the pandemic, and came out with a toughen up attitude. They should have let go of their salesforce so that they could claim unemployment, but instead they made everyone go from a door to door sales approach to cold calling old customer lists of people who had already said no. All the while they were feeding their favorites with purchased leads and pretending they were self gens. They also play favorites blatantly. They feed their inner circle with leads and pretend like these individuals are self generating their own sales when they are not. Then they belittle those who are not out knocking on doors as lazy. There are so many other solar companies that will pay you a much higher commission rate. while you are able to offer customers a much better price. Understand what a redline is, what Price Per Watt is, and how your commission structure works. If they can't explain it in simple math (cause that's what it is), then don't work there. There is little to no training for new sales reps. I was told someone would shadow me out in the field and teach me how to go through the basic in home process. It was about 6 months before someone did this and at that point I had already figured it out.

Pros

There used to be more positive to working here but under the new CEO they have taken everything away from their long standing employees.

Cons

One of the biggest issues is pay. Employees who have been here for years who know the job inside and out are often making the same as (or less than) brand new hires who are just coming in with little to no experience. It’s frustrating and honestly pretty discouraging when your time, effort, and knowledge don’t seem to be valued. It also feels like the teams doing the bulk of the day-to-day work and making sure everything runs smoothly aren’t compensated fairly for the workload they carry. Raises and improvements to benefits are limited, even for those who consistently go above and beyond. At the same time, there’s a clear difference in how departments are treated. Sales teams are rewarded with trips, events, and strong financial incentives, while internal teams, who play a huge role in actually driving success for this company, don’t see the same level of recognition or pay. It creates a pretty big disconnect. What makes it harder is that the company promotes a very positive, upbeat culture, but that doesn’t always match the reality employees experience day to day. Over time, this discourages a lot of employees from wanting to remain here.
