Pros

Solar city is a great place to learn about electrical and they offer some of the best health and other benefits. They also have a good panel (commission) pay if your an installer.

Cons

Working here for the past 3 years has been like a roller coaster. When sales is doing well, we make good money and stay busy but when sales is not doing so well we could go without work for up to a week. Management tends to play favorites and promote their friends instead of those who actually deserve it and have the skill. Many of the crew leads (not all of them, but most of them) can be very lazy and they do the bare minimum instead of doing whatever they can to help their crew.

Pros

Just to quantify my review a bit, I am within the top 10% of inside sales reps within our 12,000 person company. It is a great place to work and people doing well ARE able to make good money here. The executive team ALWAYS has a platform for reps to help make SolarCity a better place every quarter. They involve the top 20 reps each quarter in various ways to help their peers through an interactive group called Team Elite. Executives, VP's, Directors, and Managers are always willing to help and go to bat when there are issues with things that need to be fixed. The direction of the company is consistent and although the company is large, decision makers work as hard as possible to steer the big ship quickly when necessary.

Cons

Knee jerk reactions with decision making at a director level create issues from time to time. Culture has had its ups and downs due to HUGE growth last year and subsequent high attrition rates.
