Pros

You have so much free time in the Home Depot. The Home Depot staff are amazing! I've built great friendship with these kind-hearted people.

Cons

The current individuals in management in Orange County will completely crush your soul! THEY HAVE ALREADY FIRED YOU BEFORE THEY EVEN HIRE YOU. My director and current managers will leave you to believe you can build a career here. During the interview they will tell you, "you will be promote me in 3 months." That is a lie. No training will be provided. Promotions do not exist. Management will tell you that you can make good commission - once you hit an impossible quota in a saturated market. Looking at the numbers from last month, there are very very very few people making any commission in the FES position. You need to have 30 Contracts Won to get promoted or transfer. Overall, in the Orange County region, its comes down to poor management!

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.
