Pros

Nationwide company, company car, learned alot about large organizations. During my time I was able to rehash alot of old leads across the country and go into channel partner stores choose my own customers to spend time on. Never had trouble meeting quota and in-house financing and leasing made it super easy to close deals. Best if area is a newer suburban area with most homes built after 1960.

Cons

Huge disconnect being a large organization between what is going on at the warehouse level and what the VPs or even districts understand about an area. Old housing stock in LA that left at least 50% of sales being disqualified after site audit. Upper management refused to see that as the issue and blamed reps and managers etc. Doubled down on terrible decisions. Had to leave.

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.
