Pros

A lot of independence, and ability to build your own book of business. If you are lucky enough to get put under a good RSM then you can really make some money. If you can get into the Fresno CA market, they have some top notch leadership there!!!

Cons

Inconsistent message, contradicting goal setting, and recognition for great performance is seen as more of a threat to upper management than a valuable asset. The main issue as we saw in the Nevada market is that your future is not within your control the legislation of a given state can wipe your job out from under you. The operation in Nevada was let go of three days before christmas, only because of the decisions of the state government.

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.
