Pros

The culture here is amazing. I came from retail and this is night and day. I never thought I would want to go back into sales after working in sales for 5-6 years but this is different. I don't feel like I am selling. I am doing home owners a favor by educating them on this great opportunity to go solar. So the pressure isn't the same as old sales jobs. It feels so good to help a family out, to make a huge difference in their life and the planet. Its rewarding and I make great money doing it. The company is growing so fast so there is a lot of room for growth here. I love that! So many cool changes and they are always for the better. I hope to retire here and continue telling y family and friends about SolarCity!

Cons

It takes a few months to start making money so make sure you have money saved before coming over. I wasn't a phones sales person so it took me a little longer to get it but not I do very well and make great money.

Pros

The people I work with and my higher ups are helpful and passionate about the company's success. The benefits are great and at a low cost. They treat employees here very well and it's a great team environment. We all want to see each other succeed. It's a growing company with many opportunites and a lot of room for employees to grow!

Cons

It is a quota driven environment so you need to work hard and sometimes work over time. This could be a con to some who are not used to working in a higher pressure environment, but if you thrive under pressure and don't mind occasional long hours then it is not too bad!
