      Pros

      1.-Excellent training (If you are willing to learn) 2.-Great people 3.-free t shirts?

      Cons

      1.-This is what I don't get about this company, they will spend a lot of money training you but as any other employee you'll realize that they won't pay you more and you'll just end up doing more and more until you leave and another company will get a well trained guy lol. 2.-Long hours 3.-Lies and lies to try to keep you happy. 4.-Awful communication between departments resulting in a lot of wasted time yup your time. 5.-You'll have to drive your car and they won't pay a cent. 6.-Won't get a raise even if you're the best until your office hits a magical unreachable number bringing motivation down.

      Pros

      The people you work with are great. There's a fun environment to be in most of the time. Offers prizes and gifts for contests to boost sales.

      Cons

      This place used to be a happy place. People were getting promoted left and right and the culture was the best I had ever worked in. I don't know what exactly changed but today is not the same. Managers are asked to step down, people are being let go, veteran sales people are leaving for other jobs because they aren't making money and leads just aren't flowing the way we were promised. It's sad. It makes coming to work no longer fun. On top of that when you can't get leads you only get paid $11/hour and then wait months for installations if you are lucky to get that far. SolarCity has a disconnect between departments. The customer service is terrible and yet it's sales' fault if someone cancels. Oh yeah and don't think about taking a vacation. Way too many people are in fear of taking a day off because the job security is so poor.
