Pros

Awesome staff, management, pay potential, benefits. This is the best opportunity I've had in sales. The company seeks to do the right thing in all situations. I've personally seen the company lose money to take care of the customer. Also, they have stepped up in my personal compensation structure when they didn't have to. Growth is frenetic and advancement is available to anyone who wants it. I was offered mentor position at 2 months and again at 5 months. Work hard and smart and the sky is the limit

Cons

The only con is if you can't handle change. Promotions are rapid. Communication sometimes loses out in the face of new opportunity. If you're s 'sell it and forget it' type this isn't the company for you. Project management and follow through are critical.

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.
