Acquired by Tesla

Is this your company?

No appreciation at all for the hard work you put in. - Inside Sales Specialist SolarCity Employee Review

Pros

Working for a company that wants to change the world and do good by lowering the fossil fuel emissions and introducing clean solar energy to the masses.

Cons

Leads are old and recycled. Heavy encouragement from management to go door knocking and phone book cold calling to earn a decent living. Half the time when you sell a solar job it goes into cancelation for a large amount of reasons that are out of your control. Tree shading, roof is to old, attic has asbestos, and greedy utility companies that lose or slow the paperwork down to months. Remember you only get paid when the solar panels are installed.

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.
