Pros

I met great people working there. I gained valuable project management, time management, and sales skills including objection handling.

Cons

The turnover rate seems to be high, and for obvious reasons. To be successful, you really do need to work more often than youre not working. There was little help from management when I was put on a performance plan. Unless you really have a knack for sales and can handle repeated rejection at time, I would not recommend working here. Other relevant info: The benefits are very expensive ($2700 deductible for a single person) No tuition reimbursement No quota relief for taking vacation No 401k company match Way too many factors that can get in the way after you close a sale that are out of your control that gets the job cancelled (roof disqualified, customer disappears/stops answering phone calls, someone doing paperwork drops the ball and customer cancels) I personally struggled with selling the benefits of the company when other companies offer very similar benefits and can save the customer way more money than SolarCity
