      Pros

      In sales we manager our own schedules, set challenging goals, work as a team, celebrate the wins and take planned time off to renew and relax. It's a culture of growth and we are challenged daily to achieve our best for the BIG picture of a global mission.

      Cons

      The bar is set fairly high for performance. This isn't a place where you can coast or let off the gas for long. The demand is excellence and those that refuse to grow go away. Expect to be challenged and learn new information quickly.

From this post we can tell you are part of the passion that makes SolarCity! We agree with your review—we look for people who want to win but aren't necessarily looking for the easiest path to get there. Thank you for your commitment to SolarCity!

      Amazing place to work

      Pros

      We work hard and we play hard. This company is all about success and helping each other acheive it. I have never been with a company where EVERY single person wants to help you succeed. We get to work with great people, help people save on their electricity rates, and help save the planet. What more could you ask for ?! It's a no brainer...I work in sales for a company where I never have to worry about lying to my customer. When I help a customer go Solar through SolarCity, they literally are doing nothing but saving and getting cleaner energy. Save the planet one rooftop at a time.

      Cons

      Honestly, the only con is when a customer doesn't understand what you are doing for them because they think it's too good to be true. It can get a little frustrating when you are just trying to show a customer that this is not only to save them now, but it will help to exponentially save as the years go on... and it doesn't cost them anything out of pocket!!!! I just want to help people.

      Fast-growing, energetic, modern and forward-thinking

      Pros

      Positive environment, open-minded individuals, generous on-site perks (snacks, drinks, coffee, etc.), profit shares for every employee, allowed to be self-sufficient

      Cons

      Not the greatest starting salary for most positions, so fast-growing that things can be a little hectic, a lot to learn in a short period, fast-paced to the point of craziness sometimes, positions are always changing, opening, being filled, etc.
