Pros

There are so many positives about SC!! I have been with the company for 5 years and all I can say is how blessed i feel to be a part of such an amazing team. I can say that this company from the top down (or should it I say from the bottom up) share the same vision. We truly are teammates! From the sales side over to the install and management side of the business we all seem to work side by side with one unified mission. I love our company values, there are many but the ones that best describe how it is to work here are "We are teammates" and "We act with integrity and honesty" (I say this with knowledge that every company has it's share of knuckleheads) Look forward to another 5 years minimum.

Cons

As with all companies, we cant be perfect. but I can say that being with the company for 5 years and having seen us hit 1000 employee's all the way to 10,000 not to long ago. And seeing us go from 10,000 customers to over 180,000....in less than 5 years. Growing pains!! but that is to be expected when you are drawing the blue prints for something that has never been done before in the history of the Solar industry. SolarCity is the Apple of it's day. it's like the beginning of the dot com era, when no one but the innovators who came up with the ideas shaped the industry. SolarCity is doing the same thing now.

Pros

The people are amazing, morale is so high, and you are treated very special with Solar City. You are more than well compensated, management helps you succeed to the best of your abilities. The company is very transparent with their activities and you always know where you stand. I can't stress how happy i am to have been invited to be a part of a wonderful company with tremendous perks.

Cons

i have not found a downside to Solar City. Everyone i have met within the company has an amazing spirit about them. Some would say that Solar City has really high expectations. But i wouldn't want it any other way. The company is booming and we are a part of the success that is changing the world!

Pros

Excellent Management, they go above and beyond for their employees to help them succeed. The pay is competitive and there is a very high potential if you put the work into it. The goals are realistic, yet challenging to push you to constantly improve.

Cons

It is a difficult task convincing people that not all solar companies are the same business.
