Pros

Great people working here, company provides a number of useful tools and online platforms that keep all the activities of the company in one place. Great salary and benefits for those working at managerial levels, installers/auditors focus on what they do best: install/audit

Cons

Company perhaps taking on too much, if you get hired here, better hit the ground running; you learn as you go and you better produce results right away. Long workdays with little to no breathing time, may get a bit too stressful for those with little patience, working 10-12 hr workdays AND Saturdays is normal. You will probably be spending more time here than with your family. At-will employee status means they can fire you at any moment without giving you any reason, so watch out. . .

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.
