Pros

This is a feel good kind of company that's helping to bring affordable solar to the masses. The people are friendly, helpful and willing to share their knowledge. I feel very fortunate to work here!

Cons

There's a snack supply in every break room, I don't know if that's necessarily a con but some might think so.

Pros

How many of us wake every morning excited and eager to go to work? How many of us go to bed at night knowing we made a difference? Working for the SolarCity family is not as much as work as it is a mission. Before SolarCity I had a job. I had a schedule and set of tasks that if I completed, I was then rewarded with a salary. Working for SolarCity was a life changing experience. I am not an employee, but I am a valued contributor to a family of unique and talented team mates that awake each morning knowing their efforts will be valued and their results will be appreciated. I have the ultimate career luxury of recruiting a sales team that offers our customers a product that not only provides financial savings and or cost control but provides them with a truly sustainable product that has no downside. Our leaders encourage us to work hard, work smart, and enjoy what we do. We are challenged, we are driven and we all share the desire to perform. When you believe that your efforts are making a difference not only for the success of your business but also in the world at large, you don’t mind when that alarm rings in the morning signaling its time to start work.

Cons

There is nothing negative I have to say about SolarCity.

Pros

Seems like a cooperative, innovative, friendly place at first...but that's only an illusory first impression! Not many pros once you actually get past the first week.

Cons

Ambivalent management that throws staff under the bus to protect their own skins, pressure to make unrealistic quota/pipeline numbers, absolutely no support from managment, failure to adhere to company's own stated values. Low pay.
