Pros

Meeting customers and feeling a sense of purpose in every interaction. Its a great place to get

Cons

Wide sweeping changes from the executive level did not address problems. I've seen it in several regions where if certain numbers weren't hit, instead of investigating into what the regional challenges were, they fired people and started from scratch. We've lost a lot of great people who were great at their job and retention is a huge issue. I saw our customer service and our installation quality go down to a depressing low. The standard operating procedure was inefficient and interdepartmental communication was terrible especially between the local offices and the headquarters.

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.
