Pros

They are helping to spread solar throughout the country

Cons

If you are a professional salesperson, run far and fast from this company. If it takes 15 days for a customer to sign an agreement, they will give you commission to someone else. According to management, odds say you should get some of these free deals but it never happens. Out of control mostly young while males, kind the system and make sure their cohorts get deals. This is a mill.They want you to sell deals and leave before they have to pay for it which will happen if the 80% of my training class gone after 3 months proves anything. If you are a 24 year old male with no experience or expectation of professionalism and want to eat cereal and listen to blasting music all day, this is the job for you. Anyone else, keep your current job.

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.
