Pros

Looked like you could meet some good people and the break room was cool. Great business idea but poorly run.

Cons

Boiler Room job. Your pay will stay around $11/hr or less, if you do the math for 4-6 months. Most deals fall through because of red tape. If you don't have a ton of money saved for at least 4-6 months then you will be sad you took the job. It seemed like a used car salesman gathering in my opinion. I wish I was not promised or sold a bag of wind. I left a great job for broken promises. Get use to the word overtime because you will be working 10-14 days a lot.

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.
