Pros

There are so many positives about SC!! I have been with the company for 5 years and all I can say is how blessed i feel to be a part of such an amazing team. I can say that this company from the top down (or should it I say from the bottom up) share the same vision. We truly are teammates! From the sales side over to the install and management side of the business we all seem to work side by side with one unified mission. I love our company values, there are many but the ones that best describe how it is to work here are "We are teammates" and "We act with integrity and honesty" (I say this with knowledge that every company has it's share of knuckleheads) Look forward to another 5 years minimum.

Cons

As with all companies, we cant be perfect. but I can say that being with the company for 5 years and having seen us hit 1000 employee's all the way to 10,000 not to long ago. And seeing us go from 10,000 customers to over 180,000....in less than 5 years. Growing pains!! but that is to be expected when you are drawing the blue prints for something that has never been done before in the history of the Solar industry. SolarCity is the Apple of it's day. it's like the beginning of the dot com era, when no one but the innovators who came up with the ideas shaped the industry. SolarCity is doing the same thing now.

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.
