Pros

Young environment of people and that is pretty much all i can say is nice about this place. And snacks. Not sure how the other reviews can be so positive. Maybe they are fake.

Cons

Chaotic, unorganized, decisions do not have proper follow through. Titles are given in a popularity contest manner. Promoted employees leave anyway. Un-managed work load. Constant "all hands on deck" situations, which are passed as pitfalls of a start-up/growing company, however in this case it is poor management. Old equipment that is not suitable for the work performed and constantly crashes. People work with broken computer screens. Office space looks and smells like it has not seen a cleaning crew in years - i don't believe it gets vacuumed at all. Reward for a job well done is bigger work load

Pros

Comments below are based on my experiences with the company. Rapid development of analytical skills and data set management. Immersive and extensive experience with Microsoft Excel including efficient spreadsheet design and formula optimization. Exposure to a large client portfolio and experience working with their administrative and managerial departments. Good introduction or deepening of understanding of the commercial energy management industry.

Cons

Comments below are based on my experiences with the company. Work-life balance is not a priority. Expect 50+ hour weeks in order to avoid getting behind. Individual workload expectations are unreasonable and associated deadlines are unrealistic. Working in evenings, on weekends, and on PTO days is not uncommon and arguably expected. Expect to work through lunch frequently. Culture is poor. Silent office throughout the day with little to no talking due to workload and deadline pressures. Anxiety and exhaustion across all staff. Very depressing and irritable atmosphere. Some staff try to improve culture through lunchtime activities but they’re few and intermittent, and sometimes feel forced. Candor and honesty from Analysts never feels encouraged. Which is a shame considering they’re the backbone of the company. Micromanagement and over-scrutiny of work quality is commonplace and the level of quality expected under workload and deadlines is unacceptable. Little to no direction from senior management and any direction that is given is often hastily changed with little warning to Analysts. Occasional unprofessional conduct from senior leadership (yelling, making a scene, etc.). Benefits are not ideal and pay is low for workload. High turnover as a result of these issues. Staff often stay fewer than 2 years and it’s common to see resignations before 1 year. This job is absolutely not something to make a career out of.

Pros

RES is a good company for those who have just graduated college. You can learn soft skills as in email writing, working on a team, talking on the phone professionally, etc. There is a generally good camaraderie among analyst (only) as they only want what's best for one another.

Cons

There is a clear divide among upper management and analysts. Management berates lower position analysts and does not encourage or support them. Analysts start to think so little of themselves because they are constantly getting put down. The tone in the office is mute. It is constantly silent and there is minimal chatter. If one does speak he/ she is stared at like he/she is doing something unthinkable. There is little room to grow which causes the extremely high turnover. The company is held back from successful because all senior staff look for new employment after a year. Therefore, things that have been done in years past gets lost in emails of people that have left. There is zero cross training and false promises during interviews that there is.
