Grasshopper Solar

Poorly organized. Appts were supposed to be local but ended up being all over the place despite other reps who lived close to my appts. When hired we were told the position was permanent even though solar subsidies were ending. The entire team was lied to as everyone was let go without notice. They lied right up to the last day. Then you had to chase them for money. First, they lied, then they dragged their feet and ultimately they paid after realizing I had the deals and commission owed documented for legal action.  Had to chase them for 6 months. 

Many clients had problems getting their solar system installed. Project Management was horrible. Do yourself a favour and use a well-reviewed smaller and local solar company.

Working here is not worth your time or energy. If you are the type to put everything you have into your job and give 100% expecting to earn advancement or a raise at a regular interval or receive some kind of benefit or incentive, take your passion elsewhere. The people at the ground level are lovely but everyone is fully taken advantage of by the people who make the decisions. No focus on customer needs or quality service, lack of resources/training. Very little planning or strategy. Seriously disappointed in decisions from upper management.

I very much enjoyed my time at Grasshopper. My husband and I had to move and I was very sad to leave. It was a professional environment with so many amazing people and I learned more than I wanted to about solar energy. In my time there the mandate had changed over my three years there to find the best talent to join the company as it was growing globally so unfortunately I was part of dealing with nonperforming staff being let go. It wasn't nice and that was part of my job I did not enjoy. Several employees were taking advantage of the company and slowing down its growth so I understood it had to be done. I still stay in touch with my former coworkers and wish them the best.

I came to Grasshopper after having worked for several years at various companies in the renewable energy field. I was struck by the concrete and detailed vision the management had for the development of the company and the care reserved for its employees. Clean energy is a complex field, which requires special engineering skills, but also solid knowledge of the legal provisions, regulations, as well as financial aspects. Therefore, the company invests a great deal in talent and employee development, offers financial incentives and advancement opportunities.

A culturally diverse environment gives you new insights, exposes you to new methods of work and innovation, and most of all helps you establish a huge valuable network
 – you will meet new customers, new cultures, leaders and many other people who will share brilliant ideas. 

I have worked at Grasshopper for several years now and while the first years might have seemed overwhelming in terms of the work load, part of it was because of the fast growing pace of the renewable energy industry. However, the personal investment I made during my initial time in the company has paid off and brought financial as long as personal benefits. 

At Grasshopper the team is working together to deliver great results. The best part of the job is to see satisfied customers and know that you have contributed to delivering a great product. There is also a good balance between work and home life. The company also adapted very fast to the pandemic and offered great support to the employees.
