If you believe in "Doing Good" then pay people that way.

Pros

You can get a lot of responsibility early on.

Cons

The pay is terrible and don't believe the hype. The ability to "do good" wears off soon enough when you realize that doesn't extend to your paycheck or the amount of ownership you're given regardless of how hard you're working. Don't take anything on someone's word here, get everything written down and even then, buyer beware. Too much is blamed on growth issues when the company is not a startup anymore. If you've been around for 10 years then it is probably a management issue, not a growth issue. Have seen CEO openly talk badly about multiple people/clients he has worked with. It makes you question what he will do behind your back. Lack of professionalism in my opinion.

Pros

There is a lot to learn about energy and they have so many different types of service products that there are lots of opportunities to learn. They do put in some effort to create a good workplace culture.

Cons

They can't or won't hire or promote anyone with any leadership skills, so don't expect any leadership or coaching, or mentoring. As far as getting a management position goes, being a male seems to be a requirement. None of the executive team is able to give anyone any feedback for improvement. They keep people motivated by occasionally firing someone for secret reasons and not talking about it, which keeps people scared, but it's not a great way to motivate people. No HR resources whatsoever. But if you're 20 something and willing to work long hours for good resume skills, go for it.

Pros

When I was looking for a job, I was tired of working for companies where ultimately what we did didn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. I was wearing myself out working for company after company over my career, but I couldn't cite a single case where I felt that what the company did was especially meaningful or made a positive difference to society. I could take pride in the quality of how I did what I did, and be interested in aspects of my job, but the companies and projects themselves never provided any satisfaction. I took the job at Bright Power hoping to change that, and I got exactly what I wanted. What I didn't expect was the big difference it makes to work at a place that attracts people who are interested in that. Constantly working in an environment surrounded by intelligent, genuinely good hearted and well intentioned people has to be experienced to be understood. No politics. No a-holes. I don't think I'll ever be willing to work for a typical company again, life is too short to put up with that.

Cons

It is a modest sized company that has bootstrapped its way up from nothing, so resources are typically tight. They are as fair as they can be but this isn't the place to work if maximizing your financial compensation is the foremost thing on your mind.
