It is a good place to learn the trade. You go out every day with technicians, watch them sell and perform the work. You're gonna work long hours and get your hands dirty, as you do as an electrician. As a technician, they give everyone the same goals, but only a few of their favorites get the tier 1 calls (panels/car chargers/etc). Their favorites get all of the good calls, and they expect the other runners to meet that same goal. It's a completely flawed and unfair system run by inexperienced management that have never run a business before. If you don't hit your numbers for a month, they take you out of a van. No coaching/training, you're just out. Even if you ask for help, none is given. Every morning, an hour is wasted with pointless meetings. When you're on commission, you don't get paid for these hours. They say they do, but I've never seen an hourly wage on any of my paychecks. They go over their robotic, corny process until you want to just completely tune it out. They say they're a Christian company, and they do some nice things for the community, but they're all about up selling and talking people into things they don't need. Their "culture" consists of monthly events where everyone just gets hammered, and it's looked down upon to not show up. Admittedly, it's a great place to learn. Really good techs to learn from and everyone gets along and encourages one another. Other than that, it's poorly run, you're not making that much unless you're a brown noser getting all the best calls, and you're constantly worried about being pulled from a van. It used to be a great place to work. Now they're trying to become corporate so they're constantly chipping away at what used to make it great. To the point I don't even recognize it anymore

This company was founded on Christian values and was known for treating its employees and customers accordingly.  Sadly, in a never-ending focus on rapid growth and revenue generation, they have lost their way.  As stated in previous reviews, many of the managers lack true leadership skills and there is a pervasive culture of conformity and favoritism.  This is stoked by fear and a lack of job security as there is constant turnover on the staff.  The daily focus is on money and the numbers, not on the customer.  New hires are given little or no training or support in their roles and are left to sink or swim in an atmosphere of what can be at times outright hostility towards newcomers.  
In all fairness, they offer a great work/life balance if you can keep your job, but if they decide you're not like them, even after a very careful hiring process, you will be let go without cause or reason with no explanation.  
Many come to SALT for a great career and an opportunity to live their Christian values, only to be incredibly disappointed by those at SALT who speak the words but don't actually live those same values. 

This company asserts an image as a family environment, and when I first started there, it was a family. However, lately it has become a toxic hostile workplace. The current management team is very inexperienced, and they manage through fear and threats on a daily basis. They have absolutely no management training as they were just given the position. If you happen to be in the clique with management, you could do no wrong, and were given the best jobs and given ample opportunities to learn other jobs. If you weren’t part of the favorites group, you were micromanaged told you could be fired any day for any reason. If you tried to resolve or bring issues to management, you were written up, and if you attempted to bring your concerns to the owners or the HR department , you were fired for going outside of the chain of command. Management has created and us versus them environment and are never approachable anymore. Poorly run company more focused on numbers and not the employees and company morale.

I originally started in the warehouse.  I was really excited to get into a company and prove that I belonged there through my work ethic. I really wanted to get into the plumbing department originally, but they wanted to make sure I was a great fit and see how I work. Honestly, this is the best company I’ve ever worked for. I’m a veteran and have not had the best time finding a good company, but this company has done me right. If you are considering getting into the trades, this is a great company to start at. You will work, and sometimes the hrs can be long. That’s money in your pocket though. Ask question, and apply what you learn. If you do that, you’ll be alright. 

I have been working with this company for a couple months and I've already decided I would like to be here for a LONG time! This company genuinely cares for their employees like no other company I've seen (and I've worked for some GOOD companies). The culture is one of joy, support, and kindness - to clients and coworkers alike! I never feel unappreciated for a job well done, and I never feel unheard when bringing a question to my Supervisors! They really value the work/life balance of their employees, so there are lots of opportunities for growth personally and occupationally! This company is the best! 

SALT is a fast-paced, family-oriented, fun-loving place to work! There are always opportunities to grow and ways to challenge yourself! I have learned so much at this company, the tools and the skills that I have been equipped with have helped inside and outside the workplace! Management is always ready to listen and assist with any issue! Everyone loves to have a good time, so be ready to laugh while you work! Being in the service industry, things can get crazy busy, but you'll be hard-pressed to find someone who isn't happy to help with any project or issue! I have worked several jobs, and SALT has easily been the best job ever!

There are so many positives working at Salt. Salt really cares about developing it's team. I seen employees getting promoted to new positions all the time. It's very cool to see so much growth and potential here. I also love to work for a company that truly cares about the community around them. Recently I found out that Salt is doing a charity give away monthly to families in need. This is very exciting and shows how much they really do have a servant's mindset. 

Electrical work! Plain n simple. Your gonna get dirty tied n tested daily bit it's the electricians life. Gray place. Family oriented. Courteous. However...like any electrical job its demanding if your critical thinking and attention to detail. My SALT experience was a great stepping stone and adventure into the service world. Thx fellas and lady. 

They pride themselves in Christianity but actions do not match their words. Have to chase money constantly. I should not have to constantly asked for what is owed to me in wages. Communication is lacking. They promised bonuses that never materialized. Too many meetings that are very unproductive and unnecessary and keep you from doing your job. It’s just a mess. 

I highly recommend working at SALT! It's a fast growing locally owned and family operated company. This is not a big huge corporations! They genuinely care about their team and customers.
