If you can handle the travel, it's for you. - Solar PV Installer R-2 SolarCity Employee Review

Pros

Most of the people I worked with were hardworking, honest guys. The pay was good, as a commercial installer. You are paid a good base amount, have potential for bonuses (rare, but substantial), and are given a 35$ per diem if you are away from home (which you will be).

Cons

Travel is harsh. I sometimes went full months away from home, in places 3 or more hours away. Management is wishy-washy, and can't really promise much for you. Get past the gossip and you're golden.

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.
