      Pros

      Panel pay and benefits not to mention my fellow installers other than that there is nothing else that is good about the company

      Cons

      Long hours and their plan is to make everyone work weekends and that includes Sunday. Solarcity is more interested in momey than you or your family. Elon and Tangy think that they own their employees and can make them do whst ever they want. When I started it was a Monday through Friday Opperation now we are working Saturdays now we are being asked to volunteer for Sundays. This is not a company for Christmas.

      We are sorry to hear that changes caused by our growth have created conflict in your personal life. As a company that offers a retail product, it is a natural progression to offer our services and scheduling on days that our customers are most likely to be home. We will be sure to share your perspective with the leadership team.

      Turn and burn

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      set your own schedule work in the field and out of home. health insurance, company car and gas card, nice computer. If you are single and live with your parents this is a perfect job for you.

      Cons

      very low base pay and commission. training is lacking and you are expected to figure it out. regular surprise changes that you will usually find out in the home. Very little room for growth since your quota goes up and pay goes down. It seems that the companies goal is turn and burn through employees. Have the new employee sign up all their friends and family. Since your new you will need to put in 60-70 hours to make quota and you'll do it for a while until you get burned out. You are expected to self generate 50% of your leads. You will need to stand in The Home Depot or best buy to generate leads. most of the leads you get are now totally unqualified. We used to at least ask 2 or 3 qualifying questions.
