      Pros

      It sounded great in the beginning and you get a couple free trips to Vegas. The work balance to me was relaxed but I didn't have a difficult time selling the product.

      Cons

      It made me a little uncomfortable when I started and nobody on the sales team for the entire Bay Area had been there for more than a year including my Regional Sales Manager. My Director had only been there a year and a half. They bring you in to get your network and then have you set up all your leads as "ambassadors." Once they have your network they don't really need you anymore. If you have an off month or two in a row they will terminate you and not compensate you on any or your sales that have not been completed by the installation team. They owe me over $10,000 and it will cost me that in legal fee's to get it. Huge screw job being financed by the American tax payer. They continue to cut the comp plans for their sales teams in an attempt to fuel unrealistic growth. Shame on SolarCity.

      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.
