Pros

I wish there was 10 stars, I think the world is about to think a lot smarter, and people will come together with the family and communities all around. Excellent Salesforce, and we're lubing the parts to a machine that has barely turned on yet.

Cons

There really are no cons. This is what I dreamed about my whole life. Just like for the homeowner when making the decision to save money, and the environment without any investment. Solarcity treats their employees with respect, as to the homeowners, and when they sign up the homeowners with solar they have a trusted, well mannered staff through every step of the way. There's a reason we're #1,

Pros

We are paving the way to a better tomorrow, we work as a team and there is always room for growth.

Cons

The metrics driven mentality is not conducive for the best possible experience for both the customer and the employee. I have seen poor work and mediocrity rewarded on numerous occasions because of false numbers. The bonus structure incentivizes poor quality.

Pros

I find what solarcity is doing for our environment a great thing, I enjoy providing customer w a cleaner way to run their household. I am proud of any company that that gives our children a cleaner way to live.

Cons

while i do enjoy working for solarcity and i also enjoy the benefit packages they provide me, I do see room for improvement and one of the areas of improvement is with pay i been with the company for a year and i asked my manager is there a yearly review in may of my one year anniversary he told me he w be conducting a review in June which is the following month, when june came i asked again when will he be conducting a review he told me he doesnt do review the company on a whole decide when reviews will be held. my concern is I probably will not see any pay increase even though i have no write ups only missed one day of work because of traffic court and never had a complaint from any customers, but besides getting the run around to get an increase in pay i think solar city could be a great company.
