Pros

Good Pay, Great Enviroment, Good Opportunites to make cash if you willing to grind. NO micromanagement. ITs sink or swim.

Cons

Since the company is still new, so many people in leadership have obtained the positions they hold because of who they knew or know. Thats not paticualrly a bad thing except that there seems to be some management who gang up on employees if one of their "friends" doesent like that person. Also, STUPID EMPHASIS ON THE DAILY CALL VOLUME METRIC! My first month I CLOSED/WON 15 accounts and obtained 71 Opps, but I was fired because my call volume was half of what other co workers had. Uhmm....If they make 400 calls each day and only get 1-2 opps and I make 60 but get 6, should you be firing me or promoting me? I HATE that they value it soooooo much. really makes them look silly.

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.
