Pros

* Nice team members. Everyone is willing to help one another. * Company offers free soda and snacks. * Employees receive personal work laptops. This makes it really easy for meetings rather than taking paper notes. * Las Vegas office is located in a great area (Town Square Mall). Easy parking and plenty of food options.

Cons

* Way too low pay for a position that requires a degree. After NV taxes an individual in this position makes $10.225 an hour (that is without benefits being taken out). * Poor management team. While the the actual team is friendly, management is not and are unwilling to help train the new hires. * This position is expected to work daily overtime. Some working up to 12 hours a day. Keep in mind this is a salary position, not hourly. * Other positions within the company have access to a bonus months before contract analysts. This position requires about 2 months of work that does not gain "points" towards monthly quota. * This position requires "reselling" the contract/product. Unfortunately these analysts do all the work to get customer to re-sign a contract but collect no portion of the commission the sales rep makes. * Position requires monthly and daily quotas. As mentioned earlier, these are reachable but not within 40 hours a week. * Management leaves at 8th hour on the dot with no leadership direction. This causes much confusion to employees. *Unfortunately the low pay for this position also means low paying management positions. As one can imagine, the type of leadership this brings in is not of high quality.

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.
