Pros

strong mission in the clean energy space, that is the only pro

Cons

The management has become increasingly disconnected from the employees. Structural changes happen frequently with little transparency, and there’s minimal regard for long-term team members who’ve consistently contributed. The culture has shifted toward being transactional — hiring and laying off people within months, often without clear reasoning or communication. There’s very little support or mentorship for career growth. Despite working hard and going above and beyond in my role, there was no clear path to move up, and feedback or concerns were often brushed aside with vague responses like “we’ll see.” To make things worse, the pay structure changed to a performance-based model that heavily depends on your manager’s discretion — and unfortunately, many managers lack the willingness or capacity to advocate for their team members. This shift made compensation inconsistent and unfair, especially when your hard work isn't recognized or rewarded.

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.
