Pros

Yeah I've made some money but at what cost? Long hours, BS'ing customers and hoping they make it to install. Kiss the right behinds and you MAY move up or into a better position.

Cons

Upper management from the National sales manager on down will feed you more garbage and kool-aid than anyone can take. This is high pressure, lie your butt off sales. All they want is numbers. Management is a joke as all they do is cover their own butts. Have a great month? They love you! Have a bad month? You'll get humiliated. Managers are terrible egomaniacs and do nothing but ride you to call the same leads over and over again. Leads are terrible as well - unqualified, retreads, and more.

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.
