Pros

-401k matching -PTO and health benefits (although, they are not the greatest) -Fully remote (although, they were pushing for more in-office employees)

Cons

-Major lack of diversity in management and C-suite. The company is managed by middle aged, conservative males. There are only two women directors - one in CAM department and one in HR. Majority male, military company. No LGBTQ+ and no minorities in management - lower or upper. -The CEO believes what he did 10 years ago as a Portfolio Lead is still relevant to 2026. Zero interest in learning how the job actually functions today and will defend antiquated processes instead of listening to those actually doing the job. -Widespread blame culture starting at the C-suite and VP levels. No one takes accountability. It's always someone else's fault. -Lots of turnaround. In the 2+ years here, more people quit without giving notice than providing notice. -Burnout and lack of work/life balance. You are expected to work weekends (yes, even that ONE hour to check your sites becomes an imposition when you want a weekend to yourself). -The company does not follow their contractual obligations. They are legally responsible for being onsite within an agreed upon timeframe, but do not have the proper headcount to fulfill the obligation. However, the company keeps onboarding new clients.

Pros

QE Solar is growing and there are a lot of opportunities to join from entry level to more advanced technical, electrical, or customer-facing roles. Management is engaged, knowledgeable, and involved. The pay structure is very good, and we often find opportunities for overtime or bonuses depending on your position. Safety is a priority and field employees receive PPE and annual budget for clothing and boots. The team works hard and gets along well.

Cons

The workforce is mostly remote, so you may not interact face to face with other employees often.
