      Pros

      Great health plan. Total scheduling freedom

      Cons

      Very political, clicky environment. The integrity level was not at all what I had originally thought it was. The merge with Tesla was the beginning of the end for SolarCity. Upper level management was chosen not by merit and experience, but by connections and friendships.

      Pros

      Worked with great hard working people. Saving customers money on there energy bills. Great products and services. Great partnerships. Home Depot and Best Buy

      Cons

      Under paid. Commissions were not paid till solar panels were installed. You have to go through 100 no’s to get to 2 yes’s. Long hours on your feet.

      Pros

      Some of the best co-workers I've ever worked with.

      Cons

      Dishonest about compensation, boys club (they only promote friends), management has no clue whats happening in the offices, employees work OT without getting paid (but are threatened to be fired if they don't show up on holiday's and or stay longer than 8 hours a day), become one of the most stressful places I have ever worked. Many employees stuck it out because they were promised when Tesla bought them out it would get better, instead, Tesla has dramatically downsized and continues to downsize. The Roseville office housed over 500 employees and is now being completely shut down
