Pros

Get to help people go solar. Meet a lot of cool people.

Cons

Zero work life balance. Pretty much 7 days a week and if you don't make quota your gone. The first sales meeting of the month was always interesting to see who was still there. Huge turnover including with middle and upper management. No opportunity for advancement and if you leave you lose all the commissions in your pipeline. In my case that's about $70K currently so I keep sticking it out hoping something will happen. I'm told I'm on the shortlist for advancement when it's available but I've been waiting two years.

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.
