Poor management

Pros

- the only pro is to work in renewable energy

Cons

- management lacks the ability to lead and foster growth in their employees - when giving feedback to management, all they do is deflect versus trying to understand the root cause of the feedback - bullying is allowed in the company - unless you become "chosen", management will just ignore you

Pros

- Subject matter of job is interesting and was a good "foot in the door" to the solar industry.

Cons

- Management was fear-based. Competition was valued over team work. - No training for new employees. - Employee feedback is not valued or heard, especially if you are a woman or minority. Management took feedback personally. - All meetings were a conspicuous demonstration of "superiority." Many conversations were inappropriate for a workplace. - Work life balance was not encouraged but rather was long hours and working on the weekends. - Management would throw subordinates under bus or blame others for errors or issues. - Extremely high volume of workload; most of which was busy work and not necessary for the day-to-day solar operations/asset management. - Management refused third-party specialists or organizations; as a result all tools, databases and operations were created in-house and were not functional, contained incorrect calculations and inefficient. - No internal growth opportunities. "Growth opportunities" for junior staff were demotions to different departments. - HR was blatantly rude, unprofessional, unhelpful and self-serving of company interests.

Pros

Good compensation and benefits. x

Cons

Management is in denial and does not want to hear the truth. Not a good place for an honest, transparent employee to be. Top management does not lead and there is no accountability.
