      Pros

      Name 1 company that has this growth rate & turns more sunshine into electricity - you can't! This company isn't perfect, but I can't imagine a better place to be for me. I've been promoted 3x in 1.25 years. If driven this place allows you to make a great living while helping change the world for the better.

      Cons

      It is HARD to grow this fast. I'm not as happy as I could be with some internal communication. Also - to be successful you must work a ton BUT it's been worth it for me.

      Pros

      What's not to like. Elon Musk. 40% market share and growing. Fasting growing industry in the country. Cheap, clean and green energy vs expensive dirty energy. Commercial clients Google, Walmart, Best Buy, USMC, etc.

      Cons

      There are none that I can think of.

      In a word my experience with SolarCity has been conflicting.

      Pros

      Helping change the way people think about powering their homes. It's amazing to work for a green company. All the people I have worked with have been great people. The flexibility with my schedule has also been good - it's nice to know that if the weather is bad I have the option to work from home.

      Cons

      The pay is horrandous. At least my pay is. I did a search on glassdoor to see what people in the same position get paid and I was far lower than everyone else. I make such little money that I can't afford a place to live (I'm basically homeless), I'm also on food stamps and I can't afford the health insurance provided by SolarCity. I've been with the company for 2 years, one year as a temp and one year as a full time employee and I still have not received my shares of stock. I've inquired with both the stock admin and my HR rep and neither knew anything. Having those shares of stock would really help because I'm struggling financially right now.
