Cons

In Solar, expect 60 hours/week minimum, 70 on average. There's a good amount of burnout/turnover so anticipate being asked to cover more positions/responsibilities then what's listed for just your position. Annual Increases reflect only Merit & Bonus: Merit (0%-5%) - Standard 3% if meeting expectations Bonus (Cumulative up to 40% of Salary): -50% Business Unit Performance -20% Personal Performance (only 10% if meeting expectations) -20% Company Profit -5% Company Safety (TRIR Target) -5% Americas Safety (TRIR Target) There's no Annual Increase provided for Inflation/Cost of Living or Job Market Adjustments

Pros

Free truck. Per diem. Some great people. Drew Givens, Bryce Glass, Stephen Dominguez and others all deserve praise.

Cons

Toxic work culture and no overtime. Salaried employees get taken advantage of. If you don't stay 12 hours on weekdays and 8 hours on Saturday, you're lazy. Nepotism runs rampant. If you have the right last name you can get away with harassing other employees. As a field engineer, your bosses will take credit for your work in front of clients. You never have time to actually work in the field because there's pointless meetings every 5 minutes that do nothing but waste everyone's time. IT is rude and incompetent

Pros

I did meet a lot of wonderful people, but very few of them were in upper management.

Cons

Expected to work 12 to 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, which wouldn't be bad...if you didn't get paid a salary. They take serious advantage of their salaried employees. Hit and miss with management at the site level. Worked for 2 great Project Managers, but the 3rd was so ineffectual that it was pathetic. Same with the Construction Managers and the Project Engineers. Hires some employees and puts them in positions they are unqualified for simply because they are the significant other of someone else. Director of Construction didn't have a clue what was going on half the time and would often change policies to get more production while sacrificing safety and quality. Serious disconnect between corporate and site management. Rewards bad behavior and punishes good behavior, then cannot understand why people are leaving. High turnaround. Company always seemed to be having cash flow problems because bills to certain vendors were always late, which meant we couldn't get materials at the job site level. Then got mad at the sites because we couldn't finish things. Company states...Safety, Quality, Production...but it's more like...Production, Production, Production. Who cares about the Cost of Safety or Cost of Quality.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We’re glad you had the chance to work with some of our awesome people and we’re sorry you had an experience so inconsistent with the culture of safety and care that we strive for at RES. We encourage any employee who has an experience that does not fall in line with our values to speak up, no matter their position or work location.
