Pros

cool co workers, your working in a very innovative company. Fun job, just don't expect to make a lot of money, cause you can make more at any other company.

Cons

salary, ha, it doesn't exist. you work on commission only. So, hopefully you don't have a mortgage or a family or your done.. But they'll spin its a great job. compensation worst of any solar company. your going to be under mind control, so be prepared. your watched, harped on, and your not getting paid. wow, nothing like not getting paid, and being humiliated. Would you honestly like that? worst position in this company by far, trying to convince people walking through the mall to go solar. heed my advice! and stay far, far away.

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.
