      Pros

      SolarCity has provided a stable and challanging work environment. I was in the military for 24 years prior to working for SolarCity and I have a strong back ground in logistics. I enjoy sourcing materials, maintaining stock levels and managing a warehouse for the Company. I also enjoy the everyone I work with, meeting and overcoming any challenges that come with meeting Company goals installing Solar in the NorthEast

      Cons

      The sometimes exteneded work day.

      Pros

      * Opportunities are there if you are smart and prepared to work very hard. Advancement is based on results rather than time in position. You will learn and grow professionally at an accelerated rate. * Founders have amazing vision and integrity.

      Cons

      Change is frequent, communication can be lacking, politics can get in the way of you are not very careful. Not a great career path for our female colleagues.

      Extremely Grateful to be Working at SolarCIty

      Pros

      I have been in the Solar industry almost 7 years and derive enormous gratification helping families generate their own electricity. The tools SolarCity provides to create accurate, compelling proposals are fantastic. The infrastructure SolarCity has deployed to get the systems installed is impressive, especially at the rate we're growing. Lastly, the opportunities that lie ahead for anyone that wants to grow with the company seem plentiful. I am so grateful and fired up to be working at SolarCity.

      Cons

      If I was to mention a Con, I find our new compensation plan (to be paid on installation) somewhat frustrating. Too many things are out of our control and we don't have a way to conifirm our projects are moving along without persistent e-mail inquiries to other departments. Visibility to Interconnection and Permit submittals would be helpful.
