Pros

Many co-workers are very passionate about their work and renewable solar. It can be fun environment to work on the right team. The pay is also generally good.

Cons

Corporate leadership prioritizes quotas and sales above all else. Construction quality is just an obstacle to meeting kW goals, which leads to many issues being passed along to the next person to resolve. Post-PTO service also feels like a total afterthought as it's given fewer resources and less attention than new installs. VPs and Directors will talk about the importance of people and building up their teams, then do rolling layoffs while replacing staff with overseas contractors and implementing AI wherever they can. The culture as a whole just feels incredibly superficial and fake.

Pros

Pay per hour isn’t bad and you just kind of walk around the store and no one from the company will really check up on you besides whoever else is scheduled with you

Cons

Such a disorganized company. The stores you get sent too is based on your address I had put a different home address for personal reasons and explained I actually lived somewhere else said they’d made accommodations, they lied and didn’t even though they could’ve. They change their standards whenever they want I got fired because of a requirement they changed mid employment, I was making the requirements that was told to me when I first got hired but after a month they decided to change it and let me go the same day because I “wasn’t meeting that requirement” when it literally was just made up. So many pointless meetings everyday where they just repeat the same stuff everyday. The only successful people at this position are people who constantly harass customers in the store and so many people would get banned from certain stores due to complaints but the company will not punish them or anything if anything they almost encourage this behavior. Do not work for this company they’re a scam. They say they offer a “rate reduction” program to homeowners but it isn’t, they just want to get people trapped in a long contract for years that they just keep raising prices. They are not an honest company. The hours are terrible it is mandatory that you work every weekend and they make it a huge deal if you try to take it out saying you can get written up for it.
