Pros

The culture within the company is supportive. Working sales requires employee results. SolarCity gives you the tools to succeed and adapt to the growing market that is renewable energy. SolarCity gives individuals the control to grow their personal market with compensation that rewards individual levels of output. Every day I am motivated to be better as opposed to being demanded to be better. Leadership opportunities present themselves as markets grow so I never feel 'stuck'. Benefits packages are great, plenty of options to choose from! I don't feel stuck paying for options I do not need. SolarCity has spent alot of time and energy building a brand- one of the most recognizable brands in the industry that I am proud to protect and represent on a daily basis. It's true that if you take care of the brand, the brand will take care of you.

Cons

You don't hang up the 'SolarCity' affiliation at the end of the work day. Although this isn't a problem for me, some people may feel they want to leave their work at their workplace. Being flexible with scheduling and customer communication is a must. The company is growing at a rapid rate which means there will be growing pains. Being flexible with working models of operation is a must. Individuals must be able to handle adversity and stay positive and have faith.

Pros

The best product I have ever sold. Great pay, great hours, great team concept, great vision, great leadership

Cons

If anything, its the constant change, but that is the industry we are in and you have to adapt. Its not a big issue, if I had to think of a con that would be it and its not really a con because it keeps you fresh.

Pros

Working for the cutting edge solar company in the world is very satisfying. Not only do I work with some of the smartest people in the industry, I am saving the world one structure at a time. Really thousands of structures at a time. Fells Great!

Cons

Never seem to get caught up. The work can be never ending sometimes. It is all worth sacrifice to be involved in a great effort.
