Supply Chain - Warehouse Manager SolarCity Employee Review

Pros

They recognize talent and promote from within. Their friends & family program is great. Approximately 2006 I quit my job managing a hotel because all three of my brothers became terminally ill. My husband encouraged me to take care of them while I could. After approximately 6 years it was time for me to return to the work force. The most depressing day was when three (3) separate temporary agencies wouldn't even accept an application from me as they did not believe they could place me because I had been out of my field too long. I couldn't even get a job as a temporary secretary despite my solid work history, my computer based knowledge & experience or solid references. When a position as a part-time warehouse clerk became available a site surveyor recommended me through Solar City's friends & family program. I was promoted to Warehouse Manager within five months and love my job. Compensation is good, working hours are good, the culture here is comfortable and encouraging. There are so many avenues to find answers to questions and you feel like they really care about you as a person (not just an employee), they want you to move up in the company. I am so lucky to work for a company that is not only committed to move the planets health and sustainability forward, but also my health and sustainability as an individual in a tremendous group of people.

Cons

Would like my stock to vest a little quicker. Like immediately

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.
