Pros

Great environment and company culture. Never a dull moment at work. Not a quite office. It even feels exciting to work here, always new things going on. You better be able to adapt to changes, because changes happen on the daily. The people are great, and there is a lot of opportunity to move up into higher positions or even transfer to new departments.

Cons

High level of stress, at least for the sales positions. Working in the solar industry is tough, customers are always canceling after countless hours of hard work for them. Base hourly is very low, $24,000 a year. Commission is also pretty low, unless you sell lots of deals or move up into a senior level role.

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.
