Pros

I have been in the Solar industry almost 7 years and derive enormous gratification helping families generate their own electricity. The tools SolarCity provides to create accurate, compelling proposals are fantastic. The infrastructure SolarCity has deployed to get the systems installed is impressive, especially at the rate we're growing. Lastly, the opportunities that lie ahead for anyone that wants to grow with the company seem plentiful. I am so grateful and fired up to be working at SolarCity.

Cons

If I was to mention a Con, I find our new compensation plan (to be paid on installation) somewhat frustrating. Too many things are out of our control and we don't have a way to conifirm our projects are moving along without persistent e-mail inquiries to other departments. Visibility to Interconnection and Permit submittals would be helpful.

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.
