Pros

I have been here for 3 years and I can't think of any.

Cons

They will work you like a dog and pay you peanuts. Their pay is much lower than industry standards. As a manager I have never seen such blatant lies that are told to prospective employees just to bring them in. Most of my colleagues always bait and switch potential employees at their interview. The executive management team are ruthless, uncaring, and unprofessional. If you are looking to join the solar industry there are other companies out their that will treat you much better, pay you more, and offer more growth potential. Over here they constantly change the comp plan, so you are always guessing how much you will make. They always change goals, expectations, job duties, etc., which causes individuals to lose their jobs.

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.
