      Pros

      Great job if you can get your sales all the way to install.

      Cons

      If you cannot get your jobs sold through to install, you make absolutely no commission. Commission is only paid after install. I worked there for 9 months, in my second and third month I sold a total of 24 jobs. Over the next 5 months 18 of those 24 jobs were either disqualified by SC or the customer cancelled because it was taking so long to get installed. The highest commission for those remaining six jobs was $500 and I had to wait almost six months to get paid. They expect you to drink the company koolaid and except not getting paid a commission for 6 months. I cannot support my family with that.

      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.
