Pros

Pay and benefits are very good and a lot of upward mobility

Cons

No time at home and never know when you will leave for the next site. Will work 12 hours shift every day if the week except for every other Sunday. They do give you PTO but won’t approve it depending on state of the project. Rotations are optional at every site and you could end up on a site that doesn’t do 4 day weekends every 4 weeks. They do make it sound good though.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear that you appreciate RES’ pay, benefits, and opportunities for upward mobility. We are committed to maintaining competitive compensation and providing avenues for career growth for all team members. We understand that the nature of our work can be demanding, and that unpredictable schedules and extended hours can be challenging. Balancing project needs with employee well-being is a priority for us, and your feedback helps us identify areas for improvement. Regarding PTO and rotations, while we strive to accommodate requests, we recognize that project timelines can sometimes impact approvals. We will continue working to improve transparency and flexibility in scheduling whenever possible. Your suggestion for enhanced training for new employees in project management for solar construction sites is very helpful. We agree that strong training is critical for both individual and project success, and we are actively looking for ways to strengthen our onboarding and development programs. Thank you once again for your candid input. If you have any additional suggestions, please contact your People & Culture Business Partner.

Pros

The salary and benefits were appealing to me.

Cons

Executive management seemed reptilian and apathetic. RES Services senior management did not acknowledge my existence or work product. I compare the job with RES Services to a rodeo bull ride. I tried to hang on as long as I could but the psychological pain was too extreme and eventually I got thrown off into the dirt.
