Decent if right out of high school or during college - Field Energy Specialist SolarCity Employee Review

Pros

Flexible work schedule, decent hours, paid vacation and sick leave. I did enjoy working in the alternative energy field.

Cons

The way the commission worked (after you were paid your base salary) never added up. After 2 or 3 months, if your leads did not cancel you should have been paid your commission for that lead but myself as well as several former employees noticed leads we set up 6 months to over a year ago that cancelled within the last month we were being penalized for them and not receiving the commission.

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.
