Pros
Awesome coworkers, pays very well by region, paid from and to the shop each day

Poor planning and scheduling, hundreds of miles per day in drive time to and from locations, jobs way outside of our territory and into the jurisdiction of our other shops locations. Late nights and early mornings for simple jobs due to poor corporate infrastructure

Pros
Fun culture with lots of buy in to vision
Cons
People who were with the company for many years were underpaid vs people newly hired.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Able to work from home/remotely
Cons
Benefits are lackluster. Most people not at the corporate office, so the "free" (not really) lunches cannot be utilized, I don't even know of the Cafeteria is staffed anymore after COVID-19 caused the WFH transition. Expectations amount to trying to squeeze blood from a stone compared to the pay with a barebones staff. What you're required to know is comparable to what an Electrician is supposed to know, but you are compensated at the same level of what retail pays at this point. Company notoriously outsources a lot of work, only to have it sent back needing to be fixed by people in the states anyway. Waste of money and higher workload on teams that have been understaffed since last year. The culture is a Mormon country club yuppie startup thats whole existence was built on getting bought out by a bigger fish before the business ran out of money like many other rooftop Solar Panel providers. The higher-ups know each other and aren't qualified for their positions, the rest of the corporate environment is either people who will contribute to the high turnover or people who were 'picked last for kickball' their entire lives and have no other options. This leads to a kiss-up culture and weird incestuous working environment. Vivint is extremely lucky they were bought out by Sunrun. COVID lockdowns all but spelled doom for this company that was already bleeding money, large swathes of staff were laid off in 2020 and upper management was very defensive about the financial situation. It remains to be seen what changes Sunrun will make but the company already has a poor reputation especially in California.
