Disappointing - Anonymous employee Energy Solutions Employee Review

Immature leadership with unrealistic expectations including no recognized federal holidays in the PTO plan, and excessive work requirements that don't recognize the sacrifices people make to work for the company and the mission. Leadership does not communicate well, and is disconnected from the impact of their decisions and poor communication on employees. ES claims "non-accrual PTO" but publishes calculators and guidelines that are accrual based, so that it's clear that "non-accrual" is just a way to avoid compensating people for their work. Uncompetitive compensation and PTO packages. Misrepresents terms of employment. Does not deliver on commitments but expects employees to find ways to make them successful at a very high personal cost. Annual employment contracts set the terms for bonuses, but contracts are not delivered until the employment term is over (in December 2023 for the employment year), much too late to act on, so revealed as a ploy to avoid paying bonuses. I wanted to love working here. Work is never all fun, and leadership must always do things that aren't fully understood by employees on the ground. But the leadership team is amateurish, apparently incapable of maturing, does not listen to feedback, does not reward contribution, and appears to be less interested in the mission than in finding ways to avoid compensating their employees.
