Pros

Great way to get lots of sales experience in a short amount of time.

Cons

Very aggressive quota ramp-up period wherein if you are not selling 7 jobs a month by your third month you are put on a one month warning period. If you don't ramp up to 7 jobs a month in the in the warning month, you are fired. And from what I've heard it's even more aggressive now. I remember I was the only sales guy left in my group of new hires after the first four months. Also you must devote all time outside of appointments toward lead generating to ensure your quota is met which leaves the work/life balance by the wayside.

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.
