Pros

Great Pay, good benefits. Depending on your project you can have Great management or incompetence. The work itself is ok, if you know what you're getting into, it's better than other solar companies for sure (MosTech, Kiewit)

Cons

The executive management is in free fall. Almost every month another C-Suite executive quits and no one fills their role! It's a top down cascading effect. They sell off their projects. When they have minimal work lined up for the future, yet they try to assure you that things are lined up for the future! I've seen retaliation from higher management, employees who threaten physical violence who are not reprimanded in any way because they "bring in the money" and countless stories of certain workers or operators that managers have requested to not drug test because they know they'll fail! They're also in a class action lawsuit for denying bonuses and countless people have stories of RES withholding Bonuses for YEARS. I can feel that something is going to give very soon, Potent mass layoffs. Go anywhere else, the cracks are showing. The C-Suite doesn't leave en masse unless there is something seriously wrong.

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.
