Pros
Great colleagues. Fun crew. Some of the kindest people I’ve worked with. Stress is high, but if you’re a curious self-starter you can learn a lot in the process. Solar is a fast industry and SunCommon is pushing it to the limit. Good short term job to learn on-the-job skills, network, and then have a good resume to move on.
Kontras
SunCommon is a flat company. Strong at hiring, weak at nurturing and retaining their talent. They hire eager, engaged young people then ignore their professional aspirations once they’re on staff. Pay (including benefits) is not competitive within Vermont. Burnout is high. Employees are under a lot of pressure to succeed with aggressive goals and initiatives always changing. Company culture has greatly suffered with growth. Company is disorganized and management is struggling with rapid growth and merger.
