Pros

- Other staff really want to make a difference - Interesting products to work on

Cons

- Company expects staff to work 2040 hours in a year. That is ONE WEEK OFF per year, including federal holidays, sick leave, and vacation COMBINED - C-Suite (Sam Cohen, Christopher Burmeister, etc) are severely out-of-touch with rank and file staff; they just do not care about input from staff or the negative consequences of their decisions on staff - After employees submitted complaints about the 2040 hours policy, the executive team brushed them aside. They do not listen to employees, even as they claim Energy Solutions is an "employee-owned company" (it isn't) - Low salary for the expectations

Energy Solutions Response

We appreciate your feedback. All full-time salaried employees at Energy Solutions are eligible for a minimum of four weeks of paid time off and, depending on amount of time worked, are eligible for additional time off beyond that to offset extra hours works. Energy Solutions also provides paid time off as required for sick leave in addition to time off taken for other reasons. Our paid time off policy encourages flexibility of working styles and schedules. We also recognize that all jobs can require extra effort at times and gives back any additional time worked to employees in the form of extra time off later in the year. This policy has been popular with most of our employees but we recognize that some employees do not fully understand the benefit and we are actively working to address that. We have provided a detailed FAQ in response to employee questions and feedback on our time off policy and will be updating this resource regularly as new questions arise. We will continue to work to address questions received by our Employee Engagement Discussion Group, department leaders, Supervisors, and our People and Culture Department.

Pros

The ostensible mission seemed lofty, lots of mechanisms to help employees discuss why a seemingly flat organization is actually riddled with hierarchies and old boys' club mentality

Cons

I had hoped against hope that this would be a dream job, and that is certainly how recruiters try to sell it: great mission with great people who have *great* kindergarten skills. What I found was that there was a lot of lying by the management team, lying on performance appraisals and lying about the lying. I'm not totally unsympathetic: office politics can get complicated and people want to protect their own livelihoods against external pressures. But if you are going to lie about basic terms of employment and your review process, don't slap yourself on the back about the team player that you are.
