Pros

Ok pay and it's cool that you make your own decisions.

Cons

Management sucks they don't care about you. Management has there favorites while the rest are looked down upon. Managers are not organized. Also the employees that turn into management are only promoted because they performed really good based on there number quota. Stop promoting people who do good number wise promote people who are mature and that are ready to lead a team of 17 or more. This company burns so much money explains why they could never make profit.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. It’s great to hear you feel positively about the pay structure as well as the ability to make your own decisions and work independently. It’s unfortunate that you don’t feel positively about the leadership you’ve received. We are a fast-moving and fast-growing company, and our goal is to create an environment where all of our teammates can continually learn, and grow their careers along with us. We’d encourage you to reach out to your local People Empowerment representative with any specific concerns you may have. Thanks again for the feedback!

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.
