What is the best part of working at the company?
If you like working in 130F weather, and have Project Managers that throw you under the bus so they don't blamed for there incompleteness, and make low wages l, then work for Spark Power. Also they can't keep there service contracts so you will probably get layed off the following year.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Project mangers don't have a clue and so you’re not going to know we're you’re working untill after hours, and don't even think about technical support documentation.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Get ready to get thrown under the bus by management when they have  a problem with the customer.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Drive to job site, perform trouble shooting, or commissioning, write multiple reports,

Many of the foremen at the Apex office are top notch, but the office isn't big enough to weed out the ones who overstay their welcome. The Apex office is growing so you can expect to work anywhere from Butner to Pinehurst. Hard work is appreciated but don't expect the office to be on top of everything they're supposed to. Does have a boot and tool allowance program and foreman get company F150s and some tools to go with it. 

The Apex office does send people out of state and does work from large GC jobs in RTP to service work to residential-adjacent work.

I worked for the one out of Apex. Terrible company to work for. The management is the worst I’ve ever worked for. They don’t pay you for expenses like gas and broken tools. They tell you what you want to hear and do another. No communication. If you’re smart you’ll work for a better electric company. Most of the GCs I talked to do not want them back on the jobs. They under bud jobs then blame everybody else for going over on hours when everybody is giving their best everyday. Very stressful, not worth it. The one’s in Canada might be better but they don’t know how to manage people in NC.

There is a real lack of leadership and communication with this company. I worked with a guy that got shocked from removing and replacing solars panels due to lack of leadership, not given proper PPE or work instruction. We never had morning meetings, so everybody was clueless as to what was going on most days. I started to doubt my management because I never went to a inverter that they were able to fix or troubleshoot. I would recommend that if you do choose to work here questions everything out in the field or your going get hurt. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people as in the crews that are actually performing the work  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having to do everything with nothing. A bunch of people sit in offices and yet you still get no help even though you are out working to finish the projects that pay their salaries. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Crapshow. Absolute crapshoot! 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
An absolutely annoying train wreck of a situation.

Hiring process was easy, got flown out got training done. They do reimburse you on alot of stuff you need for work if you pay out of pocket for your stuff. Work isnt the bad part it's finishing up your current project and not knowing if you have work after. Especially in the few months at the beginning of the year. There are some Project Managers that do communicate with you and some that will just leave you on read or delivered.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some of the people I met along the way. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Didn’t have a plan or funding for some of the things they were trying to accomplish. Corporate didn’t seem committed to supporting efforts. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
My feelings - Chaotic with a high rate of turnover. Lacked support and structure. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Wearing many hats to get the job done.

Spark used to be a company people wanted to work for, especially technicians. Now, it seems like an OK place to get your foot in the door. Seems like corporate greed took over and upper management seems detached from technicians and day to day operations. Lack of training, planning and execution of jobs. Hopefully management starts listening to the guys in the field and turns things around to make it a good place to work again before it's too late. 

Managers kinda suck they dnt answer you. Work is not promised in the solar Bess side. You will be benched a lot. They show favoritism and will send people who they like and who suck at their job first. Site leads are clueless and lazy. Not all but most are.. I get pretty decent pay but most people dnt. I started gettin more an hour than people that’s been with the company 5 years. 

Great safety culture at spark that makes each technician in the field accountable were they are to maintain and uphold the standard as well as management always there to help plenty of opportunities to learn different skills in the field depending on the projects they have available time when ever you need for family and progression great company overall
