Pros

Solarcity has the superior product in its industry and an amazing ability to brand itself.

Cons

They excitedly promote any sales rep that does well, especially cute girls and multilinguals, leading to a bunch of managers who are not really management. The training is poor as well, it sets you up for immediate success with in store & in home presentation but fails when it comes to equipping you for long term success in customer acquisition. In a company that is founded on cutting costs to give the customer a better product, you can expect it to apply to your paycheck & employment, where employment in this company is burn and turn.

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.
