Pros

Remote work is the only pro

Cons

People are overworked, no 401k matching, no raises, work 60 hour weeks, initiatives always change, layoffs every month, they made an irrelevant movie to act like movie stars. No growth opportunity.

Pros

working remotely. pay could be worse

Cons

considered a joke among other solar companies and even some employees. There are lots of companies doing really innovative things about climate change but Palmetto is not one of them and never will be with current managment. They put panels on roofs like hundreds of other companies. CEO uses investors money to pay for his own personal projects like the movie Bromates which is an embarrassment. Don't watch it read the reviews. Layoffs happen all the time so if you get a job here have a plan B.

A candle burning at both ends of the stick

Business Outlook

Pros

-Remote. -Okay health insurance. -Paid maternity leave and IVF (though skimpy, it's a start!). - Coworkers are brilliantly smart and great people. -Upward/horizontal mobility within organization. -Solar Sisters philanthropic association.

Cons

-No work life balance. You are always working, the job requires 60+ hours/week just to achieve mediocre performance. Limited tools to set you up for success. -Zero job security. Your position could be eliminated any day without notice. No performance improvement plans, and the metrics used to gauge performance are highly dependent on things out of your control. -Scarce ability to take PTO. If you're in hospital expect to still work. There is rarely someone to do your job if you need to take time off. -Some departments can be political and a "good ol' boys" club. -Not everyone cares about "the mission”

Palmetto Response

Palmetto values longevity and maintaining a work-life balance for its employees. While we believe that it is critical to work hard towards key deliverables, and equally important to regain our energy for sustainability, no team member is expected to work for planned/unplanned time off. Palmetto has several favorable policies in place such as unlimited PTO with 10 business days mandatory vacation per year, flexible work hours remote-first work environment among many other benefits. More recently we have introduced our goal setting process for individuals to understand how their work is directly measured to our company objectives and in service of our mission. We are excited about our future and truly value all of our current and former employees' feedback on how we can further improve. We wish you the best.
