      Pros

      You know the Elon vision, and it's one we can all get behind.

      Cons

      Solar City is poorly managed at best, and at worst generates a hostile work environment. Every position is under paid under the guise of the holy mission the company endeavors towards. Solar City claims bonus revenue and the rest. Unless you have it in writing, you will never see it. Including the "stock options" which they still haven't paid up on.

      Pros

      Loved the flexibility which faded very fast. Depending on your manager you could face micro managing.

      Cons

      Poor management upkeep. Unequal values within the company

      Pros

      Compensation improved recently and better technology recently (last 6 mos.)

      Cons

      Sales process and overall product offering are lacking. Mid management is retained despite poor performance while qualified sales generators and sale people are treated like they are disposable. They still have a business model based on "the good old days" of solar when it is a completely different industry. No exit interview after 2+ yrs with the company shows they will continue to make the same mistakes which is bad for everyone associated with the company including shareholders. $250 commission for a solar roof sale. Laughable.
