      Pros

      Company car, good coworkers, clean energy.

      Cons

      This has gone from the best company I ever worked for to the worst. We now have nothing to sell and no one to sell it to. The company has priced themselves out of the market and has sales people chasing bad leads or no leads. This was a company with integrity and now the best liars keep their jobs, More then anything this has been the downfall of SolarCity. Sad.

      Pros

      - For the most part I got to work alongside great people. - Built up my confidence and comfort level communicating with upper management. - Job flow was easy to understand. - Helped me gain experience in the energy industry. - Was able to move to different departments.

      Cons

      - Low pay for the amount of work and responsibilities - No 401k matching/ tuition reimbursement - Upper management did not foster growth nor did they take responsibility for their actions when things went wrong. - Upper management had little to no knowledge about the energy industry and the work being done on the floor, but dictated a strict quota and quality percentage. - Company culture and morale declined over the years - No job security as people would get let go in big waves -Production and numbers driven rather than quality driven
