I spent "too much time" caring for my sick mother - Anonymous employee SolarCity Employee Review

Pros

Recruiters are in the business of sales. After what hapened at solarcity, I would never sell someone on working there.

Cons

Lets start here - I was forced to take a "leave of absence" because I was spending too much time caring for my mother, who was extremely ill with leukemia. I was told to take my time and that when I was ready, the work would definitely be there for me to return. My mother passed away in January of 2014. When I attempted to return to work I was told "there really just isnt enough east coast recruiting." If I were a lesser man, I promise you SolarCity would be tied up in litigation for years to come. All I can say is I am better than them, and that simply hearing the word solar makes me cringe with shock and disbelief. Do NOT work for a company that treats its employees this way. I can help you find an ethical organization with properly aligned morals.

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.
