It's a paycheck, but that's about it - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) SolarWorld

- Inadequate, inexperienced, untrained front line management who treat employees like children - Ineffective performance reviews and review process - Upward mobility options only for chosen few - High turnover - Poor communication within and across teams - Iffy industry right now as China floods the US solar market - HR "department" runs hot and cold, but mostly cold (unless you are on the hook for a job, then very hot until you are hired) - From the company website: "We place a high value on continuing education and a major emphasis on helping our employees grow." This could not be further from the truth. Continuing education has so many loopholes to jump through (sometimes you want to take courses to better yourself and position yourself for the next promotion, not get better at something you're completely proficient in), employee development is only offered to (not necessarily encouraged for) salaried employees, and helping employees grow? Never. Not even upon request to find new and challenging work inter- and intra-departmentally. I've never felt so stifled.
