Pros

I came to SolarCity about a year and half ago...and it was the best experience of my life. I was able to move up quick because of my performance and in a very short time I made it to sales director. I took a step backwards title and pay wise to start at SolarCity. It was totally worth it. This is a place that appreciates hard work and thinking out of the box to make things work better. You have to be a self starter and ready to give your all but the reward is financial and also rewarding to your sole. Sounds corny but you are saving the world. 1 rooftop at a time. Compensation is great, Career opportunity is great, and though I work hard and a lot, I actually get to see my kids and wife on a regular basis. That didn't happen very much as a Sales Director at my last company.

Cons

We have growing pains. When you grow this fast, you have issues. That can be frustrating at times. But the great thing about it is that we have a very strong senior leadership team that is always willing to listen and try to make things better.

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.
