Pros

SolarCity has provided a stable and challanging work environment. I was in the military for 24 years prior to working for SolarCity and I have a strong back ground in logistics. I enjoy sourcing materials, maintaining stock levels and managing a warehouse for the Company. I also enjoy the everyone I work with, meeting and overcoming any challenges that come with meeting Company goals installing Solar in the NorthEast

Cons

The sometimes exteneded work day.

Pros

I have been in the Solar industry almost 7 years and derive enormous gratification helping families generate their own electricity. The tools SolarCity provides to create accurate, compelling proposals are fantastic. The infrastructure SolarCity has deployed to get the systems installed is impressive, especially at the rate we're growing. Lastly, the opportunities that lie ahead for anyone that wants to grow with the company seem plentiful. I am so grateful and fired up to be working at SolarCity.

Cons

If I was to mention a Con, I find our new compensation plan (to be paid on installation) somewhat frustrating. Too many things are out of our control and we don't have a way to conifirm our projects are moving along without persistent e-mail inquiries to other departments. Visibility to Interconnection and Permit submittals would be helpful.
