Pros

Make good money with a product that is good, financially, for homeowners(not to mention our economy l) and great for the environment. When a customer is reached on their level it truly does become a no brainer.

Cons

Company constantly changes its business model and sales philosophy. While this can often be a good thing in most companies it is a challange often in Solarcity. If it's not broke then don't fix it should apply much more. A lot of hours also. If you produce and have a manager that understands that results are truly the only thing that matters then you should count yourself fortunate. I had 14 sales one month and was in the top 5 or so for the whole Northeast, 2 weeks later I was let go for not being a t my managers Beck and call, who would call up to 8 times on my day off... if I did in fact take my one day a week off.

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.
