      Pros

      Good benefits Unbelievable work-life balance Solid industry Vacation time Great 401K match I would define Solar as the golden handcuffs. It's a great place to work, but you are always yearning for more. They give you just enough to be satisfied and that's it.

      Cons

      Promotions/Raises are based on years of service opposed to performance Hard to implement change Old Technology No incentive to be a above average worker.

      Pros

      Friendly people who are helpful and generally want to do the right thing. Great benefits and stability. Easy to move around and try different positions.

      Cons

      The company has outgrown the small company feel over the past 5 years and now is bogged down in red tape and its difficult to get anything done.

      Pros

      They really take care of you. Great benefits, great hours, a lot of flexibility to accommodate employees with young families.

      Cons

      Does not foster creativity. Things have been done one way for many years, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Makes sense for the industry, as technology in heavy machinery takes years to be proven safe and effective. But this would not be a good place for some one who craves the "startup" feel".
