      Pros

      Lots of growth and leadership opportunities, it starts to feel like your coworkers are family, managers and supervisors WANT to see you grow

      Cons

      It can seem a little unorganized at times, mostly because we are always trying to refine processes.

      I have been working at Vivint Solar full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Most flexible work schedule I’ve ever worked. Fat checks if you treat it like a 9-5.

      Cons

      Knocking on doors. That’s what you have to get over to be successful.

      Advice to Management

      Less rah rah motivational meetings. More logical “how to” meetings.

      Pros

      The Operations Manager for Long Island is the best manager I've ever had. There was a lot of flexibility and independence in this position with no micromanaging. Everyone had a lot of fun most of the time.

      Cons

      There is no upward mobility. You have to deal with sales people constantly. They make ridiculous demands and act like they own the company. They are heavily favored by corporate.

      Pros

      Money. If you want to do well just become best friends with the Director and VPs.

      Cons

      All this company cares about is money and that’s about it. Company has a new pay scale that incentivized sales reps to take advantage of customers and overcharge them so they can make more money.

      Advice to Management

      Put your customers first and not your sales reps.

Company always has incentives for installers/techs.

      Cons

      Lots of change to service department, Last minute accounts/homeowners to be handled, Squirrels, Angry Homeowners. iSova

      Advice to Management

      Always take advice from the people who aren't working at Utah. I.E. Take advice from Installers/Techs to make work environment better. The people in Utah don't know everything.
