Pros

- For the most part I got to work alongside great people. - Built up my confidence and comfort level communicating with upper management. - Job flow was easy to understand. - Helped me gain experience in the energy industry. - Was able to move to different departments.

Cons

- Low pay for the amount of work and responsibilities - No 401k matching/ tuition reimbursement - Upper management did not foster growth nor did they take responsibility for their actions when things went wrong. - Upper management had little to no knowledge about the energy industry and the work being done on the floor, but dictated a strict quota and quality percentage. - Company culture and morale declined over the years - No job security as people would get let go in big waves -Production and numbers driven rather than quality driven

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.
