Pros

I highly recommend BrightCurrent to anyone seeking a rewarding career in the solar industry. I am very grateful to be a part of this company and to have the opportunity to work with so many wonderful people. Interviewing with BrightCurrent was a turning-point in my life: When I graduated from college I hit the ground running and began interviewing for numerous jobs throughout the Bay Area. I was literally working 4 different jobs for 4 different employers when I came across a job opening at BrightCurrent. I went to the interview with no expectations – all I wanted was to get some insight into the solar industry. Everyone I met was super friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly, they knew how to have fun. I knew right away that I was in the right place! Soon thereafter I quit my other jobs and I now work full-time for BrightCurrent as a Sales Consultant. The company is growing rapidly and there is considerable opportunity for advancement - next month I will be getting my third promotion in less than two years. Choosing BrightCurrent was one of the best decisions of my life. Thank you BrightCurrent for making the world a better place through clean solar energy! -Flexible work schedule -Friendly work environment -Fast growing business -Opportunity for growth -Competitive pay -Employee benefits and welfare -Rewarding work incentives and bonuses

Cons

Pros

Working with BrightCurrent has been a fantastic intro to the renewable energy industry. Hours are flexible, co-workers are awesome, and the managers are engaged and understanding. Everyone is considered for promotion after three months, with a pay bump and increased responsibilities; they have been committed to employee development from the get-go, but understand that BrightCurrent will not be your life forever. A young company, they are growing extremely fast and offer many opportunities for advancement. A typical workday consists of conversing with passerbys at events and hardware stores about solar systems to save them money. Everyone wins, and I'm proud to represent the high quality products and services they offer. The entire team is passionate about building a decentralized clean energy system, and they ask you for feedback and guidance in the direction the company should embark on.

Cons

80% of people in the field ignore you off the bat, which can be hard to get used to, though working for BrightCurrent has made me utterly unafraid of talking to perfect strangers. Remaining enthused every weekend morning is sometimes difficult when it's a slow rainy day (and your commission drops accordingly). Also, commute times can be cripplingly rough; not sure what my net carbon footprint is from driving an hour each way to sell people on solar quotes.
