Pros

Great coworkers who do not hesitate to lend a hand. Decent pay for the area for my job classification. Management seems to listen when you have something to say, though it may go in one ear and out the other.

Cons

They base everthing off an 8 hour work day. Well I work 12 hour days and should be compensated that way. Insurance is way to expensive. They like to dip in to your days off with training and other misc. stuff.

Pros

Talented coworkers with sense of mission and purpose Potential for innovation in alternative energy industry New corporate headquarters in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Cons

Extremely poor management and dubious business practices by selfish and inept CXO level executives. Best and brightest have left company or have been unfairly treated and pushed out. Will fire employees if they look for other employment but company forces non-compete contracts and imposes them under threat to senior and mid level management. Benefits have eroded and once high morale is now non existent.
