Pros

- Many good, quality employees - Good bonus Structure - Good amount of workable hours - I enjoy working with my crew of guys

Cons

- Its sad to see unqualified employees being promoted over those who are much more deserving. - There is no formal rooftop installation training. How one learns the training, from crew-leads and seniors, is "how it should be done;" be it actually correct or incorrect -Many times we are pushed simply to get the numbers corporate wants regardless of your family life and/or social life. - We often receive "inspirational" videos and clips from corporate. Many different regions have varying different obstacles they have to overcome to complete a job that, more often than not, extend the duration of the project. Simply telling us to "be better", "do more", "do it faster," "man up".....are not appreciated. Many of the videos are discouraging.

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.
