In transition and feeling pressured - Sales SolarCity Employee Review

Pros

Amazing mission and product - you get paid to literally save the world. Flexible schedule (if you have the right manager). Opportunities for growth and development.

Cons

Install commissions are too dependent on factors outside of your control and this is the bulk of your earnings. Massive, ongoing downsizing is leading to widespread insecurity among staff in all departments - especially sales. Rapid growth has led to many process glitches in various departments that halt installs or cause cancels to occur due to poor communication or follow up.

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.
