Pros

Some really great people work here! Also, uncapped earning potential. Benefits are incredible.

Cons

no work-life balance. None. At. All. Unstable industry. Company lead by a buzz inventor; a lot of managers promoted too early/ without experience. we are paying for our past mistakes/ lack of care. Was good when the solar gold rush was rolling through this area, but be wary. Decent entry level sales experience, but don't expect to make all the money they promise you.

Pros

Comfortable working environment with nice break room. Friendly co-workers. Immediate insurance coverage.

Cons

Highly stressful taking call after call from irate customers who we promised monthly energy savings up to 50% during the sales presentation. Actual savings appears to be closer to 10% were many customers paying more in energy charges after the panels were installed. I have never be cursed out as often as I was while working for SolarCity.
