RES Employee Reviews about "great people"

Pros

Great people to work with for the most part

Cons

Upper management is in over their head

Pros

A lot of great people who are giving a lot to try and have the company succeed. Some departments allow a lot of employee led innovation for company improvement. Great opportunity to learn a lot if you're willing to commit to the company (long hours, limited notice for travel, etc.).

Cons

The Americas portion of the company is facing internal challenges to determine where they want their future - development, construction, both. Departments are very siloed. Company expects people to be fully committed to the company at all times (I often heard the term "work-work balance"). While trying to determine the future path of the company, there was a lot of change without time to assess if it was working. Change was near constant, leading to change fatigue in many employees.

Pros

Several great people at Corporate to work with; field personnel and Superintendents also wonderful (most). Company's dedication to sustainability fits well with business area of constructing renewable energy generation projects. Benefits (health, dental, vision, 401k) are good quality and affordable for employees. RES has enormous potential both with respect to business dealings and with the internal corporate culture.

Cons

Office administrative personnel pay rates not commensurate with skills and work load. Salaried field employees expected to work comparatively excessive hours. Certain job areas don't offer many (or any, in some cases) advancement opportunities.

Pros

Excellent benefits, well above market. Decent pay (considering the added value of the benefits). Great people. Great learning experience for young people.

Cons

Horrible, useless, and unaccountable senior management. Huge gender disparity in management positions. Does not value or invest in employees. Advancement opportunities are practically non-existent. Raises are very hard to come by, and annual increases barely cover rising insurance costs. Upper management has been ruining a once vibrant and creative culture.

Pros

Very cool place to work, great mission and for the most part great people to work with.

Cons

I took the job at RES at a lesser pay for the benefits, culture and the "green" work. Soon after I arrived the benefits started going down, Vacation/Sick to PTO, bonuses based less on personal work and more on company performance. Medical went up and raises were just OK. Advancement opportunities were bleak. Over and over again they would hire from outside rather than internal.
