unbiased review of Vivint Solar
Jul 25, 2022 - Solar Consultant in San Diego, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Flexible work schedule work your own hours no one breathing down your back. We help homeowners to save money and help the environment at the same time. Great pay once you get promoted.
Cons
Lots of hours knocking doors in neighborhoods that have been pitched solar 100s of times. Some homeowners knew my pitch better than i did. First 8 sales are splits (not the full commission) Assigned to a territory no freedom to work where you want.

- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
The company is quite successful and remote work was available.
Cons
The company very rarely rewarded nearly 200% productivity that my teammates and I put forward, neither did they accept constructive feedback. Instead, it felt as though they constantly asked us to work even harder.

Don't fall into their trap
Jun 15, 2022 - First Response SpecialistRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The pay has always been really well working for them. There are a ton of opportunities for growth and movement within the company.
Cons
HR does not take employee's concerns seriously. Many things happened here that were reported to HR but they never took the major concerns seriously. One employee called a black employee the N word. This was done with a harsh R at the end. This same employee continued harassing all employees throughout the department and even pulled a six inch knife on three women. After that incident the manager still wanted to take proper steps in reporting to HR, luckily their boss contacted the police immediately for an escort of the property. These major concerns are not the only things that happened to me while at this company. After having a really hard time with a micro managing manager I confronted them with my concerns. They told the department manager and immediately pinned me to a corner and verbally abused me in their office. To give you more of what was going on, I was a top tier employee well trusted and loved in the department. I am friendly and always make a name for myself as a hard working individual. I still have PTSD when my managers pull me in wanting to speak with me. There is no winning at this company. All departments have their issues that no one felt would ever be resolved. This was years ago and all I can hope for is that those issues have been resolved with the new CEO and Owners under Sunrun.
