      Pros

      SolarCity is, by far, the industry's largest and most stable company. However, the solar industry is known as the "solar coaster" for a reason. Pros include company car, benefits, ability to generate large monthly commissions.

      Cons

      Unless you already have your own list to sell to, you will be reliant upon SolarCity's leads. The quality of leads will depend on the territory to which you are assigned. The overall employment experience will vary from team to team. Be sure to interview your potential manager before accepting an offer. Working for a subpar manager in a less than desirable territory could mean you are headed down the wrong path.

      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.
