Pros

- Other staff really want to make a difference - Interesting products to work on

Cons

- Company expects staff to work 2040 hours in a year. That is ONE WEEK OFF per year, including federal holidays, sick leave, and vacation COMBINED - C-Suite (Sam Cohen, Christopher Burmeister, etc) are severely out-of-touch with rank and file staff; they just do not care about input from staff or the negative consequences of their decisions on staff - After employees submitted complaints about the 2040 hours policy, the executive team brushed them aside. They do not listen to employees, even as they claim Energy Solutions is an "employee-owned company" (it isn't) - Low salary for the expectations

We appreciate your feedback. All full-time salaried employees at Energy Solutions are eligible for a minimum of four weeks of paid time off and, depending on amount of time worked, are eligible for additional time off beyond that to offset extra hours works. Energy Solutions also provides paid time off as required for sick leave in addition to time off taken for other reasons. Our paid time off policy encourages flexibility of working styles and schedules. We also recognize that all jobs can require extra effort at times and gives back any additional time worked to employees in the form of extra time off later in the year. This policy has been popular with most of our employees but we recognize that some employees do not fully understand the benefit and we are actively working to address that. We have provided a detailed FAQ in response to employee questions and feedback on our time off policy and will be updating this resource regularly as new questions arise. We will continue to work to address questions received by our Employee Engagement Discussion Group, department leaders, Supervisors, and our People and Culture Department.

Pros

The positive environmental impact this company has on the world is genuinely inspiring. You feel like your work is making a real difference. The team is full of intelligent, passionate young professionals who bring fresh ideas and genuine enthusiasm to their work. The CEO is deeply committed to the company’s mission of environmental advocacy. Employees receive stock options.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Cons

Many middle managers demonstrate poor management skills, including micromanagement, favoritism, and nepotism. Individuals without management experience or strong interpersonal skills are being promoted into leadership roles where they struggle, negatively impacting department productivity, client relationships, and overall morale. Company policies around minimum work hour expectations, performance reviews, the employee code of conduct, and non-retaliation protections are inconsistently enforced. The unlimited time off policy functions more like two weeks of PTO per year in practice, unless employees work beyond full time hours. HR has tolerated unprofessional, hostile, and ethically questionable conduct, including nepotism in hiring and promotion decisions, falsified performance reports, and retaliation by upper management when these issues are raised.
