Pros

Most positive group of people I have ever worked with, competitive base, full healthcare almost immediately, dependable employees, great product. There really is no other for solar panels.

Cons

Be prepared to work more than 60 hours per week if you count all the time spent on the computer and phone doing customer service and getting the install completed. Company wants you to stand at Home Depot to help another perfectly capable person to get appointments set. So you have double duty: get the appointment, run the appointment. They are hiring too many sales reps too quickly. Only about 20% are making quota & most of them are the veteran sales reps (been there over a year).

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.
