Pros

Make good money with a product that is good, financially, for homeowners(not to mention our economy l) and great for the environment. When a customer is reached on their level it truly does become a no brainer.

Cons

Company constantly changes its business model and sales philosophy. While this can often be a good thing in most companies it is a challange often in Solarcity. If it's not broke then don't fix it should apply much more. A lot of hours also. If you produce and have a manager that understands that results are truly the only thing that matters then you should count yourself fortunate. I had 14 sales one month and was in the top 5 or so for the whole Northeast, 2 weeks later I was let go for not being a t my managers Beck and call, who would call up to 8 times on my day off... if I did in fact take my one day a week off.

Pros

Direct deposit is available. Paid holidays.

Cons

Lowest commissions in the Inland Empire. 90% sales force turnover within first 6 months. Expensive health insurance. Unpredictable and last minute schedule changes. They expect you to be available from 7 am until 9 pm 7 days a week. A very us and them attitude with management. Management replaces people daily and customers yell at us for harassing them. We are forced to account for and to actively update our personal schedules and make them available to our managers so that we can be productive 24/7. No pay raises at all. The in home sales training is terrible and the programs they use are ancient. Charge backs without proof. The Las Vegas sales trips are cheap and cheaply done and winners never seem to get paid.

Pros

The work is interesting, stimulating and good for the planet. I am well-compensated but earn it all

Cons

A year ago, the company was so new, everything seemed experimental. Everything was subject to change, and did, but the company has been maturing and learning. The rapid growth has added some chaos and delays in scheduling, but it is all improving.
