Pros

Full benefits package, unlimited overtime if you are doing well, and a sense of stewardship in changing the world.

Cons

Management can't pick a strategy, is not open about changes, salary is too low, unrealistic expectations for quota, not the company it was even a year ago. All inside perks are gone.

Pros

SolarCity has a terrible history with customers angry with their service. I hope when they become Tesla that changes. The company has a great potential and vision for the future. But you are just another worker in a multi level company you're nothing to them

Cons

Terrible management. It takes 5 moths to get a job to install then two weeks after you get pay. Lol good luck, everyone around you seems very nice but when you reach out for help they always send you to someone else (fake personalities)

Pros

Made relationships with other recruiters and decent benefits.

Cons

Where do I begin? It's called a "solar coaster" because there are so many ups and downs on a daily basis. Management is always changing, communication is terrible between managers and recruiters along with the hire ups. There is no work life balance even though this is what they preach. Be prepared to get a performance plan after two months if you are not meeting your goals even if they aren't attainable. Some managers have their "favorites" and it's well known.
