      The Abused FES - Field Energy Specialist SolarCity Employee Review

      Pros

      Well I guess the smoke they blow up your (wouldn't let me say the real word) delicate sensitive tush is nice at first. Quickly fades once you start getting negative commission checks.

      Cons

      Last paycheck had 4 'claw backs,' this basically means they paid me a commission for a sale that ended up falling through. They aren't going to let you keep said commission, so they set up a debt. For the love of god, get your experience from this place and head for the hills.

      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.
