Pros

Energy is a hot industry right now and CPower has a strong grip on the market. Ability to work from home is great. Company has a firm look to the future. Pay is ok, bonuses are nice but not guaranteed. Work is challenging. There's some excellent people trying their best to elevate everyone.

Cons

I started a few months before the new CEO came in. Employee survey the first year I was there had cratered from the year before so they did try and implement a feedback system. I don't think they really listened though or cared since most criticism is about leadership. Employee churn is up and more than half of the company has only been there less than 3 years. Morale is on the decline and you can see it. Very cliquey, especially in the operations group and not much accountability for senior leadership. The best idea wins out is not a concept at CPower. It's MY idea wins because I've been here longer. It's why there is a CRM system that is barely usable, because a bunch of VPs and Managers who think they know better than people who actually have to use the system had all the input. The VP of Customer Service has on multiple occasions unfairly maligned so many people behind their backs for no reason other than to make themself look better. They're also one of the reasons why the aforementioned CRM system is half baked. The sales group has a frat house mentality and is seriously off putting.

Pros

I like the size of the organization, at about 200 employees. It's a good size to be able to propose and execute solutions that make an impact. The pay is good and the ability to work remote is great (for those who don't live in Baltimore). With NRG recently acquiring CPower, it's uncertain how salary and work in general is going to be impacted after the integration. Before NRG acquired CPower, I would have recommended the company to a friend or colleague. However, right now, there is too much uncertainty for me to feel comfortable recommending.

Cons

Because of the size, for some roles, there aren't a lot of career advancement opportunities. The only way for me to progress would be leaving the company and finding a higher level position with another company (probably larger).
