Great Company

Pros

People are treated like family. Flexibility on schedules and work times are big priorities for the company. I have always had great leaders and managers, but like any company its not perfect. Great 401k match, and a nice big bonus when the company does well.

Cons

Solar needs to be a little bit better at paying high performers, but they are often restricted by corporate structures.

Great Company to Work For

Pros

Good benefits (Vacation, Health Insurance, Sick Leave, Best 401K match out there) Great Location Great work / life balance Good people to work with

Cons

Base salaries lag where they should be for southern California. Definitely pay the "sunshine tax". Other companies locally pay better but the grass is not greener overall. With recent strong government contract work at other local manufacturing companies (Solar does very little government work), we have been losing some good talent to other companies recently.
