First time posting on here so bear with me. I've recently (almost a year ago now) started working at a Solar Installation Worker's Co-operative. I am not yet an official Co-op member (there is a 1 year 'probation' period, then you can buy in/join) but compared to working for giant corporations, it is amazing.
I've done a lot of different things for work from running my own small business/partnerships to 6 figure camp work gigs. From my limited experience with a Co-op, everyone seems much more invested in their work and appreciative of others efforts as well. I know a few other people who work for worker owned businesses (not necessarily co-ops) and they have had nothing but positive things to say as well.
I may be a bit biased as this is a really interesting job with a great group of people, but I really recommend looking into worker owned co-operatives as an alternative to the pyramid scheme style corporations we've all become used to. I'll post an update once I'm an official co-op member with some more insight into it. Thanks for reading!
