Reasons We’re Rad
The top reasons Michaels Energy is an awesome place to work, besides helping the world save energy.
We Never Stop Learning
We promote educational growth through trainings on core business topics, technical trainings taught by colleagues, invites to external conferences, and tuition reimbursement for outside learning.
Jeans Every Day
A casual work environment is part of our laid back culture. No, you don’t need a tie, or even khakis. Jeans will do just fine (fortunately for us, denim chaps do NOT count as jeans).
Beer Fridays
Have a beer on us! Go ahead, you deserve it! After a long week of work, spend some time unwinding with coworkers and enjoying a beer and some snacks on “Beer Friday”.
Fresh Fruit Daily
We promote a healthy lifestyle. So each day you can find a variety of fresh fruit at any of our offices. Like any office, we have our fair share of treats and potlucks, so the least we can do is offer nutritional options to help offset the empty calories.
Get Paid to Bike to Work
To show our commitment to living a sustainable, healthy lifestyle, we will pay you to ride your bike to work! Through the wind, rain, heat and blizzards, you will be rewarded for your commitment to biking.
Downtown Offices
All our offices are located in vibrant downtown areas with convenient access to restaurants and stores, as well as walking trails, rivers and outdoor activities. The perfect balance between the city and nature.
Flexible Work Hours
Not everyone is productive at 7am, and some people can't function past 4pm without starting an afternoon pot of coffee. Luckily, Michaels offers flexible work hours so both the early birds and night owls can achieve their ideal work-life balance.
Wellness Rewards
Just to show how serious we are about healthy living, employees earn rewards points for participating in different wellness activities throughout the year. They can cash in those reward points toward awesome free products.
Fun Company Outings
Bowling, golf, baseball games, Oktoberfest, skiing, races, pumpkin walks, summer picnics and more! Fun company outings are plentiful here at Michaels, and enhance the family atmosphere among our team.
Words from our Team
After graduating college, I didn’t want my job to feel like work. I wanted an employer whose values aligned with mine, projects that I would challenge me intellectually, a full calendar to keep me on my toes, all the while feeling comfortable and secure. Sound too good to be true? I thought so, too. Until I joined the team at Michaels.
It’s a magical feeling to have found such an amazing company right out of college. Michaels checks all those boxes—and more—with ease. I’m constantly amazed at how great I have it here. I can see myself having a long, happy, successful career here at Michaels—even from the very start of my professional journey.

Too Good to be True
I’ve been with Michaels for over seven years, and one of the things I value most is the culture of mentorship. I’ve been fortunate to have strong mentors here, and I’ve also had the chance to mentor others as they grow in their careers. Michaels truly invests in people, whether it’s through the leadership development program, professional development budget, or structured mentorship opportunities. That investment has shaped my career growth thus far.

Investing in its People
Working at Michaels Energy has allowed me to perform meaningful work alongside incredibly talented and supportive colleagues. Here, I’ve been encouraged to bring my authentic self, contribute my ideas, and continue to grow personally and professionally. What I appreciate most about the company is the culture of collaboration—where achievements are celebrated, challenges are met together, and the well-being of every team member truly matters to the organization.

Being My Authentic Self
I've genuinely enjoyed every day I've spent at Michaels. The team here is made up of some of the most hardworking, passionate, and kind individuals I've had the pleasure of working with. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported by a truly collaborative environment. It's clear that everyone gives 100% to their role, while also making time to build meaningful relationships and maintain a healthy work-life balance. What stands out most is how consistently I’ve been encouraged to challenge myself and grow—personally and professionally—which is something you don’t find just anywhere.
