Pros

The team I work with consists of a great group of people. Salary and initial boost pay are decent.

Cons

Management: Set unrealistic quotas for living in The Northeast, mixed messages, not very approachable. Kiosk: Dealing with rejection is most of your day. Pay: It takes a very long time to receive commissions because you are not paid until the glass is on the roof . The entire sales process takes at least 3-5 months if not longer.

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.
