Pros

Good People and a great Idea for the environment

Cons

Poor, Poor, Poor, Management. This company was like a bunch of inexperienced children playing dress up. I am a Logistics professional with a specialty in inventory management and lean six sigma practices. I joined SC back in 2014 with hopes of being part of something great. Instead what I got was upper corporate management that wanted nothing to do with actually improving the company and just gave out free t-shirts instead. SC did a good job of finding talented Warehouse professional but then completely ignored them when the raised red flags about current practices. After the "merger" with Tesla, more cuts came in the form of reducing WHM salary by 20% and was justified by stating we were now "allowed" to work over time, basically rewarding inefficacy. I left this company because I know, as a professional in warehousing, inventory control, & logistics these guys are going to sink. Not to mention there is absolutely NO upward mobility or career growth after the first year. If you’re looking for a career in supply chain this is a good place to cut your teeth, but don’t plan on staying long, don’t get sucked into this relatively easy job.

Pros

Pay potential could be very lucrative. I was able to set my own schedule. You get paid what you're worth. The harder you work, the more you got paid. Health care was part of the benefits.

Cons

The major con that we had was that the entire direct sellers were let go. Due to realignment of SolarCity and Tesla, approximately 1200 people were let go. Upper management was deceiving by talking about letting the other Energy Consultants go due to major costs on a monthly basis.
