Pros

With SolarCity, you truly feel like you're part of a company that's making a difference in the world. It's also a company that is very invested in your personal growth and seeks to give you more responsibility as soon as you are ready to take it on. People on the sales team are positive, highly motivated, and inspirational; competition is friendly and helpful. You, as an individual, are celebrated every single step of the way - literally on a daily basis.

Cons

Work-life balance is difficult, especially in an entry-level sales position. I get the feeling that there is flexibility, but the best days to work are on the weekend. This means time away from friends and loved ones who are on a traditional 9-5 M-F schedule; however, after promotion, you are afforded autonomy in scheduling appointments and managing your own time.

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.
