Pros

Industry-leading solar technology: Many employees highlight pride in working with high-efficiency, cutting‑edge solar panels and storage systems Strong team culture: Field employees often mention supportive, motivated colleagues. “Great group of people. Nothing bad to say…” Learning opportunities: Early-career staff appreciate hands-on training and rapid learning curves. “Extensive training…good experience and I gained knowledge …” Competitive sales compensation: Sales roles often offer solid pay structures with potential high earnings

Cons

Upper‑management issues: Frequent complaints about indecision and lack of direction. “Upper management was always indecisive, no clear direction…” Customer‑service breakdowns: Users and internal staff note serious service and billing issues—especially during and after Chapter 11. “Phone calls … no response … worst service ever.” Operational/coordination flaws: Reports of chaotic installs, inconsistent crew coordination, and poor communication. “A lot of miscommunications between these groups… took 6 months… to get it to work.” Bankruptcy hangover: Ongoing delays in repair, billing transparency issues, and paused work orders after 2024 Chapter 11.

Pros

The people at SunPower/BlueRaven were some of the funnest people to work with. I built a lot of great relationships there.

Cons

When SunPower was purchased by TJ Rodgers, he came in and was telling everyone how he was going to turn the whole company around and that "because he's a billionaire he knows how to make it happen" -- Well.. over the span of about a year he laid off about 70% of the company and tried to make other independent contractors so he didnt have to give them a base. The whole company dynamic changed and I now have yet to speak to any former colleagues who enjoyed being there. - Its very toxic now.
