Very nice place to work here no cons
Great products and benefits, but service needs improvement
04/08/2026 - San Francisco, CA
Pros
Great products Great benefits Decent Pay
Cons
No support for customers when needing repairs....hence the low rankings on review websites. They're quick to answer sales call....they put you in VM hell when you call for service.Ps...Sunrun could be an exceptional company if they just handled the service calls with high importance.

04/09/2026 - San Francisco, CA
Pros
Great company to work for
Cons
High turnover in the sales department
Good pay and no micromanagement, but poor company image
04/16/2026 - Houston, TX
Pros
Good pay, no micro managment.
Cons
Bad reviews of Sunrun and overall public perception on residential solar. People are very mad at Sunrun because there are a lot of people that felt lied to.
High expectations for $15/hr
04/06/2026 - Des Plaines, IL
Pros
It's a job if you need something to float you until your next gig. Onboarding is top-notch. Training manager was very invested in your onboarding/training.
Cons
It was a little bit of a bait and switch.The job description said "appointment setter" and then it became a sales role.The recruiter said "at minimum one weekend day" my trainer told me EVERY Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.You are assigned to local Home Depots' or Lowes where probably 100's of sales people before you were assigned and already pitched to local regulars.Strict dress code. Yes you should represent yourself and Sunrun professionally but you are in hardware stores where one might stand out and appear unapproachable.There is absolutely no-way you will make $70k in this role which is what they list as the potential on their job description.
Straightforward job but no advancement opportunities
04/23/2026 - Lehi, UT
Pros
The job is straight forward, a lot of changes to keep it interesting but not more difficult or time consuming.
Cons
No one on the team has moved up in any way in the company as long as I have been here, very stagnate
Amazing opportunity
04/14/2026 - Milpitas, CA
Pros
Great flexibility and opportunity for large pay
Cons
No base, requires a lot of discipline
Run far away
04/15/2026 - null
Pros
Trauma bonds make for lasting friendships
Cons
Literally everything else. This place is a joke. The roles we hire for are a joke. The metrics are a joke. Good luck getting benefits because they’ll keep you as a contractor until you’re blue in the face, but don’t worry “benefits are coming”.
Supportive team but long hours at some locations
04/15/2026 - Virginia, IL
Pros
Great group of folks good very kidn to me
Cons
Can be long hours depending on which location
Good benefits but low pay and demanding expectations
04/15/2026 - Austin, TX
Pros
Gas Card and Mileage Reimbursement
Cons
Pay structure, quality of leads and amount of time they demand out of you for only a 20k a year base salary.
Valuable retail prospects, but uneven closing support
04/18/2026 - Bowie, MD
Pros
Access to prospects inside of retail is golden, we have access to both Costco & Lowes members
Cons
You cant choose your closer , some are better than others
Nice people
03/26/2026 - San Francisco, CA
Pros
Great sales role, lead gen is difficult
Cons
high pressure to get sales
Good Place to Work
03/04/2026 - San Francisco, CA
Pros
Fast paced and engaging work. High ceiling for people who can work hard and elbows out make a difference.
Cons
Typical big company stuff. Up and Down of the solar market is stressful. Market uncertainty and politics drive a competitive environment.
Great place to work
03/13/2026 - Lehi, UT
Pros
Employee centeredGreat benefitsGood work enviroment
Cons
Not a lot of room for upward movement
Great Company to work for
03/11/2026 - Lehi, UT
Pros
I’ve been pleased with my time at Sunrun. The design team is very supportive of one another and very flexible and supportive of a healthy work-life balance. CEO Mary Powell is inspiring and I feel that my work contributes to making the world a better place.
Cons
There has been a strong push for all employees to return to office full time which is a bummer. Hybrid schedule is much better for everyone in my opinion, but it’s ultimately not up to me.
