Pros of working at Vivint Solar

The people there were amazing and it was awesome. Everyone was always so willing to help when you needed it.

Cons of working at Vivint Solar

I had only been working there for four months and they laid me and my department off. They also keep on hiring more and more people just to do the same thing to them. They are so desperate to find people to help get their work done but somehow are not able to afford all the employees .

Vivint Solar Benefits

Lunch was nice other then the fact it was not free like they said it was as it came out of your paycheck. The overtime was really nice and the paid holidays but other then that it sucked!
