Pros

The biggest pro is once you reach 90 days you receive a company vehicle, gas card and maintenance card. The company provides you all the tools you need to do your job which is great.

Cons

Horrible lower to mid level management. You are just a number to this company now. Turn over is way too high. No time off (expectation is to work 6 days per week and 10-12 hours per day. No managerial support (mine is an outright liar) the pay is not good enough for the amount of work they expect. You can make a lot more money at other companies. HR does nothing to assist employees when they are needed. Solar prices are amongst the highest and they install on the least amount of roof tops.

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.
