Pros

Good pay. Ok Benefits. Met some really great people most if which are no longer employed by SolarCity.

Cons

Sales quota is difficult to meet unless you are misleading customers and/or using unapproved marketing/sales presentations. Those that make quota are put on a pedestal and management pretends they don't know about the misleading info they are providing customers. What you are told during the interview process and even in training is a far cry from what the actual job is like.

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.
