Pros

most of the people who haven't been fired are fun, kind, and caring.

Cons

terrible ceo. endless lying. zero job security. don't believe his responses on other reviews. never know what mood he'll be in and how you'll pay for it. hosts meetings where he curses at employees. most employees who work hard go unrecognized. everyone at the company walks on thin ice. worst part is, sr, leadership supports him. what can they do i guess? he's ceo. culture of transparency is complete bs. not a start up culture even though that's what they try to claim because of bad behavior.

Update: This review is 20 months old. Morale is great! Great culture! Growing rapidly! Profitable! CEO really cares about his employees and customers. Agonized about the reorg and the impact it would have employees that would be affected by eliminating their positions but made the hard decisions that needed to be made. He has a passion for clean energy (for over 20 yrs). CEO is very open and transparent about all aspects of the business. No sugar coating challenges on his part, along w/ taking open responsibility when it falls on him.

Pros

Palmetto is a fast moving company that is so focused on its mission - you know you are in a place that is doing good. The team is top notch - smart, caring people. Truly not a jerk in the mix. Our work matters. In a very convoluted market, I am very confident in Palmetto's longevity.

Cons

I just wish I was able to see my coworkers more often! Remote is great, but sometimes you miss the camaraderie.

Pros

Flexibility, Unlimited PTO, Snacks when you are on site, Almost all of the staff in the Charleston office are truly nice guys, Best thing of all - people occasionally bring their dogs :).

Cons

Very unstable - seriously, In addition to former employees like myself - about half of the current staff/management are on their second round with the company. So, don't take a job with them if you want stability. Mostly very young management with an 'Everyone deserves a trophy mentality,' Pointless company-wide weekly meetings that are basically a competition for 'Who can use the most obnoxious business jargon in one statement?' Lastly, policies, guidelines, rules and management decisions change not only daily, but sometimes hourly. I'm all for necessary change, but this just makes the staff feel uneasy and makes management look weak and unorganized.
