Pros

Large Company with so many locations across the country to choose from. Starting to increase in diverse hiring practices. Many areas of concentrations such as transmission, generation, construction, and delivery.

Cons

Local management has an inability to adapt to corporate objectives effectively. Local management has an inability to relate to younger workforce (ie old school management style). Still too reactive, not proactive enough to be efficient in change.

Pros

A Very Exciting Staff. Very Professional Atmosphere and Highly Motivated workforce. A lot of potential for earnings. Training is very good along with hands on training for new individuals wanting to be set up for success.

Cons

Low Base pay for Experienced professionals. Mistakes always made on deals and commissions. Always excuses from management and a song and dance given to appease you . Senior or experienced sales representatives should not be (Micro- Managed). IPad or Kindle given but (Tracks your every move). Management likes to find ways to intimidate all sales team. Meetings are way to long and you have to pay a garage fee of $6 to $10 each time you go ( 4 times a week at least) no reimbursement for this and your fuel.
