What is working from home like at Sunrun?

The flexibility to work from home was great. There was a lot to learn, and when things were slow, there would be about 10–15 minutes of downtime. The benefits were solid, and the leadership was supportive. Even though I sometimes felt overqualified for the role, the mission and values aligned with mine, so I felt like I was part of something meaningful.

Over the years, I survived four or five RIFs (reductions in force) and I met someone who was rehired after a RIF. Since I was being trained as a Subject Matter Expert in PV Design, I gained many skills, multitasked effectively, and assisted coworkers with their calls while handling my own. I didn’t think a RIF would affect me—it felt so impersonal and showed that no one was truly safe. My friend was even demoted from their title in the last RIF.

Good leadership and easy to get sales in selling solar over the phone with warm leads

Pay changed while I was there giving less bonus

I personally achieve a healthy work/life balance; the company offers good benefits and a reasonable amount of Paid Time Off. Remote work is supported and encouraged. There are endless opportunities for growth but you MUST be dedicated, focused and self-motivated. The company is dynamic, rated as a rising star company and ran by smart business people. This company is ethical and careful to stay in compliance; they encourage employees to be responsible for their own health and happiness, and the company provides ample opportunities and resources for the individual to do so. You will read reviews from people who just weren't a good fit for the company. I work with people in sales, operations (installation), and Project Management - I've never felt a stronger sense of camaraderie and job satisfaction than I do here at Sunrun.

Some of us do work long hours sometimes. It is never required and I am ALWAYS fairly compensated. The Customer Experience Surveys set up Project Managers to take the fall for sales not setting proper expectations or poorly executed operations performance. Sunrun is a Corporation: volume IS important and employees need to be mature enough to embrace that if we want to do well here. Some people who let their emotions get the best of them will find themselves laid off due to having a bad attitude. California's a real threat to residential solar. PG&E is THE WORST to have to deal with, which frustrates customers and Sunrunners alike.

My manager and coworkers respect work-life balance, allow work from home, and maintain a cordial work environment.

Upper management often sets unrealistic goals for productivity

work from home is a bonus

Favoritism. inconsistent leads. Boredom, Should pay more.

The benefits are fantastic, Health insurance is great. Was able to work from home 100% of the time.

They stopped buying leads. People couldn't pay the rent.

Work from home, benefits, flexible hours

High pressure sales environment, monotonous days

Work from home, flexible working hours

Promotions are bad, no bonus.

Work from home, decent pay

Not transparent, micromanage and annoying meetings with cheering and dancing

Work from home and good coworkers

No work life balance at all. In sales you are just a number and they will look for reasons to get rid of you, even if you are a productive sales rep.
