Pros

Company's mission and vision statement motivates you and have positive impact in people's life including customers, employees and the planet overall. Flexility of time and opportunities to interact with different people every day. As you work outside on the field.

Cons

Base salary and commission pay very low compare with the industry avg. Poor training not fulfilling completely the need of the roll. Company's culture shift with the merge with Tesla more pressure for results and disrespect interactions from Managers because of the stress coming from high level executives to the entire sales organization. Expectations to work way more than 40 hours/week with treating communications. The base compensation is salary not hourly. Challenges with other support departments in order to complete the sales such as lack of communication, not attention to details, lack of proactive attitudes and others. Which makes the customer service experience difficult for the consultant. You can make a very good career in SolarCity/TESLA but you need to get to Management positions as soon as possible.

Pros

The pay and benefits are good, and you are often times out by yourself. This is both a pro and a con at times. Company vehicle computer phone etc.

Cons

High expectations but limited on time due to scheduling. Often times alone and this can be dangerous on certain homes when setting up ladders etc. Expected to complete 4 or more audits a day while adhering to all safety requirements, which presents very limited windows of time to complete audit.
