Pros

Great benefit, great money when I first started. Safety is a good consideration over here. They are the lead solar company in technology. Good training.

Cons

Doesn't great no more, they cut down regular workday to 4 days work week. Weekend is now mandatory workday and you stay home at the other two day to do nothing at home and get pay nothing. They don't let you work over 40 hours anymore unless they needed you for your schedule off day. If you doesn't make panel pay then your paycheck is nothing. Remember panel pay is not something in your control like what they did sell it to you. Too many factors gonna affect your paycheck like scheduling, your coworker, weather and your manager favors. Keep in mind the Panel Pay is not something in your control and if you are not lucky in many ways your paycheck is the worst in solar industry.

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.
