SolarCity reviews

As my review title says, working for SolarCity is a meat grinder. They LOVE to pump the Kool-Aid to their employees about "work/life balance," but the fact of the matter is, you're working CONSTANTLY, and the pressure and hassle is almost unrelenting. Want to spend weekends, or even just Sundays with your family? Maybe take an actual vacation? If you're not way above quota, forget about it. It's important to note that of the thousands of people who sell for this company in the Southern California area, there's probably less than a dozen who have managed to stay there for longer than 4 or 5 years. What does that tell you about the way they treat their employees?

Underpaid in every position, they'll take advantage of people wanting to save the world and under pay across the board. Management cannot anticipate anything, so all decisions and direction are reactive. This makes for a horribly chaotic work environment. You're treated as a number, not a person. Management is obsessed with metrics, only looking at a black and white number and not taking in any other information for their decisions. Work life balance is essentially non existent, you're expected to work all the time. Even the most recent holidays. Told you'd be paid additional bonus for working them, then they're "forgotten about" when payday rolls around. Currently pushing "perfect customer experience" without taking any time to focus on the internal customers which are the employees.
