Terrible company to work for- terrible company for customers - Field Energy Consultant SolarCity Employee Review

Pros

Not a one! This company doesn't know if they are coming or going. From the top down they tell you to not tell customers everything. They don't train you worth a crap. Throw you out and when customers have questions your manager ( which changes almost monthly) says- call me when you are in the customers house. Oh that really would make a customer feel comfortable! Solar is the way to go- but customers will figure it out if they call anyone else- SolarCity stinks!!!

Cons

Everything! Pay is terrible! You work 7 days a week and do the math, you make $7.00 an hour for the hours you put in. They call you to meetings every other day, all over the county. You have a cancel with customers at the last minute! And the Home Depot appointment setters are a joke! They hunt down people in the store. They book appointments with customers that have zero interest, then when you head out to your appointment at 8pm in the woods you get the door slammed in your face. What a joke!!!

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.
