Pros

Believe in clean energy. If you are 23 years old they will like you. There is business out there. Free Granola and Peanut Butter in the kitchen.

Cons

Management is more focused on P&L than p-eople. Pushing for more sales in less time with fewer resources. Seems to be more about the money than the industry. They are running a business not a renewable energy project. Competing for sales with our own associates. Play favorites there. Training is a Train-Wreck.

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.
