Two faced - Solar Concierge SolarCity Employee Review

Pros

Benefits after 30 days, some good supervisors, schedule bids, bonus potential, some friendly team members, awards for hard work in the past.

Cons

Instability. Company's problems became employee's problems. Pressure for employees to get involved in the politics, literally, of it all. Such as P U C demonstrations, very stressful. No transparency leaving employees wondering if they should stay or go, nepotism, favoritism. While they will reward, they will distort the facts as to why one tries to amicably leave the company to pursue other ventures. Have observed long -term employees let go with no real reason from what was observed.

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.
