Pros

Amazing co-workers, very smart and kind people. Good way to enter the solar industry and get experience.

Cons

Entry level associates are thrown into work that they are not prepared or trained for, and more experienced associates keep leaving for other companies so there is little training or guidance. When people ask for help or let managers know that they are overwhelmed, they are not given support and are shamed for asking for help. Management seems to be in denial of these issues despite a continuing mass exodus of employees (especially women/POC). Sunwealth markets itself as a social justice oriented company, but they underpay employees (and expect them to live in NYC/Boston), give them more work then they can reasonably handle (lots of people working 60+ hours/week), and then get upset when things fall through the cracks.

Pros

Majority of team is lovely - smart, supportive, focused on positive impact. Work/life balance is encouraged and reasonable, at least on certain teams. Work itself is often interesting and important. Upper management is generally quite available. Most organizational deficiencies acknowledged, and attempts sometimes made to rectify.

Cons

Lack of coherent strategic vision for general stability, resilience in tough times, and steady growth. Upper management's expectations often unclear/inconsistent, and can often be too hands-on or hands-off. Limited training and professional growth opportunities, and subpar compensation. Some teams seriously understaffed. Emphasis on transparency falls short in practice. Many strategic issues repeat themselves too frequently due to lack high-level solutions and effective follow through. Team to team coordination needs improvement.
