      Pros

      Great friends on the sales floor.

      Cons

      The three people at the top of the Las Vegas branch are the absolute worst people you could ever ask to work for. If you do take this job, for some reason, don't listen to the lies told by the parade of people during training. You made the wrong choice by joining SolarCity. You will not make enough money to survive. You will struggle every month to make quota. You will lose your job in 100 days for a reason that is absolutely out of your control. The people in the other departments, you rely on to get your commission five months later, are going to find a way to screw you out of that commission. And if the job gets installed and you have already been let go, your commission is $0. Fun, right? The new compensation plan is an absolute joke. If you read the reviews about how horrible the pay is, congratulations because now the pay is even lower. Do yourself a favor and get a job with a different company. One that doesn't have a 20% attrition rate PER MONTH! One where the directors are not only looking out to save their own jobs. Please explain to me why the three people on top of Las Vegas still have their jobs? Why do you need three people, plus the several RSMs to manage 60 people on the sales floor? This made sense when I had 300 of my colleagues next to me a few months ago. Now it is just gross and transparent. All signs are pointing to the Las Vegas branch closing by the end of 2017. If you don't believe me come take a tour and enjoy the view of the empty seats left behind by my friends. SolarCity sucks.
