Pros

The company is dissolving thanks to the Rives brothers and their cousin Elon Musk neither cares about the environment just the all mighty dollar. I watched a company self sabotage. Management was a joke and so was the ever changing expectations and pay. you won't be around for your commissions. Company holds installs. This company is full of great actors and actresses that lie straight to your face.

Cons

Work for a company that actually appreciates there employees and the environment. People are not saving money with the leases unless they live in California. And in states that we are not less we are told to peel the onion and find out what the emotional reason for customers to switch to solar and then make them feel bad if they decide that solar is not for them. Great customer service SolarCity.

Pros

Fantastic team environment. Freedom to grow and make mistakes and then guidance on how to learn from them. Rapid growth opportunity for hungry, ambitious people.

Cons

At times things are done the hard way, no use reinventing the wheel. It takes a while to make operational decisions that others in the industry have not had an issue making.

Pros

You literally get to help save the world! And you can meet some pretty great people along the way

Cons

What was once a great place to work has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. Salespeople are continuing to be laid off while management has no accountability. Managers seem to be kept based on popularity rather than merit and therefore salespeople receive little to no coaching or support. The Directors micro manage and the VP is never around. Every day I see good people leave due to the gross mismanagement. Also, this is a total boys club. As a woman in sales I don't feel like women have opportunities to move into leadership. There were only two female managers and one of them (the best one) recently left.
