Pros

Schedules are pretty relaxed and flexible, you can pick your base days, or the days you would prefer to work, and they never force employees to work any time they don't want to. They are also very understanding about rescheduling shifts due to conflicts, and they are good at working around your other school or work schedules. Also, the team is full of friendly, awesome people, and we try to have lots of out-of-work events like company parties where you can get to know each other better. I also really like that you feel like you get something out of the job when you educate people about solar, supporting green energy in your community.

Kontras

There is a lot of travel involved, although we are only obligated to go 30 miles from our houses, many good events are farther than this. Also, it is sometimes hard to get the right equipment for events if they require special things beyond what we normally have. And organization could be better, it would be nice to know our schedule more than a few days in advance. As in any kind of sales job, this job does entail a lot of rejection and customer interaction, but staying positive helps with that.

Pros

Working with BrightCurrent has been a fantastic intro to the renewable energy industry. Hours are flexible, co-workers are awesome, and the managers are engaged and understanding. Everyone is considered for promotion after three months, with a pay bump and increased responsibilities; they have been committed to employee development from the get-go, but understand that BrightCurrent will not be your life forever. A young company, they are growing extremely fast and offer many opportunities for advancement. A typical workday consists of conversing with passerbys at events and hardware stores about solar systems to save them money. Everyone wins, and I'm proud to represent the high quality products and services they offer. The entire team is passionate about building a decentralized clean energy system, and they ask you for feedback and guidance in the direction the company should embark on.

Kontras

80% of people in the field ignore you off the bat, which can be hard to get used to, though working for BrightCurrent has made me utterly unafraid of talking to perfect strangers. Remaining enthused every weekend morning is sometimes difficult when it's a slow rainy day (and your commission drops accordingly). Also, commute times can be cripplingly rough; not sure what my net carbon footprint is from driving an hour each way to sell people on solar quotes.
