Pros

The team at New York State Solar is incredibly supportive and their attention to detail and patience with teaching me everything has been one of my favorite parts. Its important to management to spread as much knowledge as possible, and that makes me more confident in doing my job. They even have paid time for community outreach work. Another pro is, there's a ping pong table!

Cons

Its tough to call it a con, but working on Saturday takes a weekend day away, but on the bright side it's often the most productive day we have & we're out early compared to other days.

Pros

Okay benefits Great coworkers That’s kinda it. Future looks bleak.

Cons

Constantly disorganized and underpays for the amount of work heaped on each individual due to dwindling staff. Firings happen seemingly at random, other people are quitting due to hostile company culture. Leadership is often lost in the weeds, and customers are unhappy. Rampant nepotism and conflicts of interest. Middle management is incompetent but really good at kissing up to the right people for security. Company cares more about appearances than results. Expectations and responsibilities are inconsistent. Underhandedly discriminatory to certain identities. They insist that we’re growing but our staff is smaller than ever, we lose someone nearly every 2 weeks. There are limited paths to upward mobility unless you were hired in from another solar company or know someone in charge. Most positions are dead-end. They expect you to care about the business as if it is your own without the benefits of being an owner. They will tout one employee’s success story of upward mobility or monetary gain to new hires as if that is the norm… it is not. Hollow gestures of gratitude from senior leadership that do nothing to actually help the people who work for them.
