Pros

On paper, the company lists attractive benefits—but many are misleading: "Unlimited PTO" is discouraged in practice, and employees are expected to stay available even when out of office. 401(k) vesting takes six years—far too long in today’s workforce. Healthcare plan has high premiums and limited coverage. HR lacks proper infrastructure and training to support employees or explain benefits clearly.

Cons

Nepotism and favoritism are deeply rooted in the company culture. Key leadership roles are given based on personal connections rather than experience or qualifications. A C-level executive openly stated in a company-wide meeting that their motivation is financial, not mission-driven—highly concerning for a company operating in renewables. Leadership has pushed through projects that were not built correctly, placing pressure on employees to manipulate data in analyses to meet timelines and cut costs. High-performing employees are routinely overlooked while underperforming favorites are promoted. The executive team is disconnected and unqualified, making decisions that negatively impact morale and operations. Feedback is routinely dismissed, and employee well-being is clearly not a priority. The work culture is toxic, disguised as “fast-paced.” Burnout is normalized, boundaries are ignored, and no effort is made to develop internal talent. There is no investment in professional development, training, or long-term career growth.

Pros

None - not even the unlimited PTO.

Cons

The new CFO has it out for people. Got too big for her britches. I helped oversee the layoffs of their subsidiary companies and it was not pleasant. Many good, hard working people lost their jobs because SunVest did not know what they wanted or were doing.
