Pros

Helping change the world fixing what we have broke for a better place for our kids kids future. Every panel we lay just makes this planet that much better.

Cons

Commercial installers we travel alot away from home way more then the 10 days on 4 days off we were told at the hiring. We work on huge jobs yet are completely under paid residential should not make more then us. If you think I'm joking just ask any residential installer what they make more to the tune of 50k to 120k a year and that's a installer 1-3.Yet commercial installers make no panel no bonus and no efficiency pay which is a complete joke as well. The promotion in commercial should all be looked at from the time with company to the value of work.

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.
