Good Co-workers, insurance benefits are pretty good as well as fun company events and built in training.

Cons

Poor upper level warehouse management, no advancement opportunity unless you are favorited regardless of quality and work ethic, low pay, low hours, management is unhappy if you work to many hours unhappy if you leave early, struggle to get proper tools and equipment, efficiency is not measured for this position and most people don't know what position entails yet efficiency of position is always listed as poor by higher ups, poor utilization of employee skills and drive, very hard to recieve a raise was told by manager "we don't reward being good at your job and going beyond is on you we don't ask for it".

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.
