      Great place to start, but very limited growth potential

      Mid-level manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong business model brings good merit increases and annual bonus. Company values development, cross-functional development. Has tuition reimbursement program for basic or advanced degrees. Generally intelligent leaders, but very limited in focus.

      Cons

      Easy to work up through first couple of promotions, but then it's all about who you know. Culture is dominated by "good ol boy" network. Styles that succeed are very conservative, and don't speak out. Name of game is to make boss look good, and consistently agree with upper management.

      Easy place to work.

      Pros

      Work life balance is great. Pay is so-so but I think not too bad. Most people are laid back and stay off of your back.

      Cons

      Nobody feels like what they are doing is important. No real urgency to get work done. If you're not self motivated you may not perform well because nobody seems to expect you to. There's no such thing as incentive at this company.

      Good place to work, great people to work with

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Relax, layback envorionment. Flexible work time. Very good with the vacation policy, never been deny to use it when ever and how ever I want to. Most jobs (other than managers) are open for intenal people to apply to.

      Cons

      No clear career path. Not much training other than following someone around all day or figure it out on your own. Your life at solar really depends on your manager. Most of them are pretty great, but if you get stuck with a bad one, they can make your life pretty misable and there is little/nothing you can do about it.
