Pros

I love that I have so many opportunities to grow here. In less the one year, I've become a Senior Documentation Verifier. Everyone is always striving for the better and everyone's a TEAM here at SolarCity.

Cons

There are a lot of changes here at SolarCity which I love but sometimes, we just jump into things without getting much training or information.

We are glad to hear that you are thriving at SolarCity! Our SolarCitizens are the backbone of this company. You are spot on when it comes to change and we are glad you are embracing the fast-paced culture! We need people who are highly adaptable, and embrace change with a sense of humor and grace. However, we are always trying to improve our training as we grow. We appreciate your feedback and we are working on keeping the lines of communication open.

Pros

SolarCity gives its Field Energy Specialists (FES) the opportunity to earn a substantial salary. Benefits are great include Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K, Stock Options, Paid Vacation, Sick leave, and many more.

Cons

The hours are very long usually from 11AM to 7:30PM, 5 days a week. When you consider that you have to put on a happy face for 8 consecutive hours after getting rejected none stop the hours seem to feel longer. While the base salary is okay the company should consider raising it because this by far is the hardest position in the company.
