Pros

Cutting Edge company that is always moving the needle. No day is the same and you actually get to make a difference.

Company size is lowering and you see friends leave for other opportunities.

Pros

You have so much free time in the Home Depot. The Home Depot staff are amazing! I've built great friendship with these kind-hearted people.

Cons

The current individuals in management in Orange County will completely crush your soul! THEY HAVE ALREADY FIRED YOU BEFORE THEY EVEN HIRE YOU. My director and current managers will leave you to believe you can build a career here. During the interview they will tell you, "you will be promote me in 3 months." That is a lie. No training will be provided. Promotions do not exist. Management will tell you that you can make good commission - once you hit an impossible quota in a saturated market. Looking at the numbers from last month, there are very very very few people making any commission in the FES position. You need to have 30 Contracts Won to get promoted or transfer. Overall, in the Orange County region, its comes down to poor management!

Pros

I am proud to be part of the SolarCity family. Every year this teams learns and grows in a positive direction that is truly changing the world.

Cons

It takes some time to learn the family/work balance. There is enough opportunities and work that can keep you anchored at work for most of the day if you allow it to.
