      Pros

      Free snacks, coffee, and BBQ once in a while. Overall culture was fun. Interesting information to learn in training. PS our trainer was absolutely awesome.. Did a great job!!

      Cons

      Felt very mislead in regards to the earning potential and comp plan. Promised the world and feel short. They stated average specialist was making 15k... This is not even close to being true. You get 2k base plus bonus. Comp plan recently lowered plus average install time is 4-6 months. DO THE MATH!! do not make the same mistake I did. Ask about the commission per panel and the average system size. Let the real figures speak for themselves.

      Pros

      Solar City is the best company I have worked for in 30 years. I know of no other company where you can walk up to the CEO or any other execs and just start a conversation and be well received. The executives really seem to care about what we do and how it is done and put the employees first. At Solar City you must be ok with change and you must be prepared to work hard. A lot is expected of all employees.

      Cons

      On occasion work-life balance gets a bit out of wack.
