Pros

SolarCity is an energy movement that utility companies like Southern California Edison do not understand. The people at SolarCity are driven because we have a clear vision and mission. Here at SolarCity, the quality of employees is determined by one's positive performance and not clouded or poisoned by bureaucracy nor foolish management.

Cons

I'm certain all benefits will improve as the comany expands and excels.

Pros

I love this place. I am ecstatic to be a part of such a wonderful company. SolarCity is growing at an amazing pace and the opportunity for advancement is huge. I have seen promotions given to SolarCity employees over outside applicants, which is something not all companies practice. If you are looking for a career with a company that promotes from the inside then SolarCity is the place you want to be at. Compensation varies by position all sales positions currently have an uncapped commission structure. SolarCity offers competitive benefits, as well as paid sick and vacation time off. SolarCity provides jobs for thousands of people and has taken action that will enable it to create even more jobs here in the United States. At SolarCity I have found happy friendly smiling colleagues whom are always rooting for each other and willing to help one another. My job is to help people save money and the environment by facilitating their switch to cleaner less expensive Solar Energy. In other words SolarCity is paying me to help make the world a better place for my children and grandchildren, Amazing!

Cons

I have yet to find anything that I am not happy about; I have been with the company a little over a month.

What a positive response, we are glad to have a great teammate on our side. You are right-- we are growing very quickly. In fact, we are opening 20 new operation centers in seven new states by the end of the year, which is expected to create 600 additional jobs! Even though we are growing at an incredible pace, we set high expectations for those we bring on board, and that makes it easy to promote from within.
