Pros
- Administrative, mid level, and entry level staff is friendly and motivated. Always willing to help you out when you need it. - Good start to learn about renewables. - Good benefits and pay. - If you are lucky to work under the few kind, ethical, and qualified leaders/managers then it can somewhat offset the cons listed below.
Cons
- Lack of solar renewable energy project subject matter experts in the US makes training lower and mid level staff challenging. - No matter what the local higher level management will try to do to improve processes and culture in the US, all suggestions ultimately get rejected by the leadership from the parent company. - Talented and experience staff are nearly impossible to retain, as poor decision making from higher ups drives them away. - Massive staff turnover makes project management impossible. Certain company leaders will feel disrespected when a staff member submits notice to leave the company and will make them leave on the spot without any project or knowledge transfer. Remaining employees are forced to take on these projects with no notice. - Vacation time is not observed as some staff anticipates immediate responses and action to non urgent tasks. - Recent massive layoffs due to employees not having the “Energix DNA” with no plan from leadership to rehire or adequately restructure. Parent company leadership congratulated remaining employees on making the cut- shameful.
