Pros

Working with legitimate city programs for energy codes

Cons

Money is shady. I started here and two weeks in found out no one had been paid in 6 weeks. I left immediately knowing this was an ongoing issue. They bill clients but then when its payday there's no money in the bank. I was surprised at how nonchalant the current employees were about missing their third paycheck in a row- not to mention it's illegal... Don't expect to have on time and accurate payments. All of the employees are expected to use a personal computer. The offer letter ensured they would send "a work laptop, Office supplies, Care Package, USL Swag, Audiobook 'The First 90 Days' before the first day of work." None of that happened and when I asked about it they said it was a "work in progress." Unprofessional and sketchy. Who knows where the money's going but it's not in the employee's bank accounts. Don't get bamboozled.

USL Technology Response

As a start-up, COVID impacted us significantly in our last two years of operation. Unfortunately, that did impact payroll for a few months in the beginning. Our error was in not better explaining this in the interview process as we were intending to hire individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit committed to helping us through the start-up challenges. This was especially challenging in the first year of COVID. We ultimately had to close and have re-opened with a fresh perspective, having learned from the challenges of COVID and stronger than ever. All of our team were properly compensated when we resumed our operations. We look forward to engaging new team members eager to be a part of something, to build something, and be part of a dynamic and supportive team.

Pros

You can have tremendous input with the senior team. They do listen and want your expert advice and opinion. Work with a diverse group of clients on interesting projects in a new and upcoming field. The company has a start-up feel, so you get involved in many aspects of the company. Really great coworkers. Very much a team with high level of collaboration.

Cons

Nothing negative so far in my experience.

Pros

There are no pros about this company

Cons

There is no pay, no communication, no strategy. Leadership is incompetent and punitive. You work to make the owner seem more accomplished than they are, but then they are aggressive if you question why there is no pay. They have been operating unethically for years. It is hard to fully encapsulate how upsetting it is to have worked at this company.
