SolarCity reviews

1.. Poor/Ineffective Management - directors/managers don't work with their employees to set them up for success; little to no performance feedback is provided outside of the annual review 2. Low Salaries - compensation does not match the expectations for most roles and pay increases are very rare. 3. High turnover rate - the company is quick to let employees go, rather than provide coaching 4. Lack of Communication & Follow Through - in regards to bonuses, promotions, pay increases, and training opportunites, I developed an "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude.

This is an operations company, not a professional sales organization. I have been a part of Fortune 100 sales organizations, and this felt like I was a Cutco salesperson with a meager base salary. They offered me their Field Energy Consultant position after our entire division was eliminated and we were given a deadline to accept the positions offered or a severance. Once I agreed and the deadline passed, they drastically lowered my commission structure and base salary to a non-livable amount without ANY kind of notice or explanation. I literally just noticed the amount was lower in my bank account. Commissions for a LOT of work run around $240-604. Seriously?! The opportunity to be successful just does not seem to be there. There are a few exceptions that they tout, but even very smart and capable sales professionals are having difficulty succeeding. I have never gotten the sense that they do not care about individuals. Training was incredibly intense and I easily worked 70+ hours for required work outside of class and was only paid for 40. They also never reimburse you for out of pocket expenses for training, required travel, etc.
