Pros

Basic salaries are lower compared to larger OEMs, but this is compensated by lucrative hardship and overtime pay. There is good teamwork among colleagues, and management takes good care of field employees.

Cons

For field position, Solar Turbines offers slow career growth with modest yearly increments, typically around 4%. Significant pay increases usually occur only with a promotion to a higher position. Field Service Representatives (FSRs) earn higher pay during on-site assignments, but during periods without call-outs, they mainly rely on their basic salary.
