Amateur Company - Field Energy Specialist SolarCity Employee Review

Pros

Other than knowing that you're helping to fight climate change and the world's dependence on fossil fuels, you'll hate your job after a month. The turn over rate is ridiculous. Even the manager who hired me left before my start date, putting me in limbo for a while. It's a miracle I made it 6 months.

Cons

As a Field Energy Specialist, SolarCity does not care about you. You're the scapegoat of the entire company. If sales are lacking, the blame is placed on you. Not the consultants, whose job it is to close contracts, and certainly not the management or directors, who don't do much of anything.

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.
