Churn and Burn - Retail Energy Consultant SolarCity Employee Review

Pros

People start with the hope of making a difference in the world, and work with like minded people.

Cons

The pros are a fantasy. Don't fall for the hype. This company doesn't care about people just numbers. They lose money because the employees are treated poorly. They churn and burn through employees. Such a waste of money training hundreds to keep maybe 2. They lie to you about growth and advancement. You are not a person, you are just a tool. If you don't meet quota or fill the metrics, you get an email and you're gone. Your manager has probably never managed people before. They have no clue on how to deal with people.

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.
