      Pros

      Good health benefits and vacation time.

      Cons

      You work independently but the manager pops in on you without notice. Really makes one feel like they're trying to catch you doing something wrong. False motivation gets thrown your way constantly. Nepotism is ridiculous here.

      Pros

      Great group of people - the type of people who want to make a difference in the world.

      Cons

      They lied. After grinding it out at Home Depot for a month, I learned that the salary expectations the recruiter gave me are not even close to being on target; instead of $60k, try 40k, if you are good. And if you thought that was bad, I found a couple of guys who are still SES's after two years, even though they could be SEC's they just realized they can make more money as a SES. So disappointing. I was really excited to work for a company that is saving the world, and having Elon as my boss. Unfortunately, Solarcity knows this, and they use it to their advantage, to pay as a little as possible. Shame on you guys
