      Not the most professional

      Inside sales representative

      Pros

      I worked in inside sales and I'd have to say people at solarcity are most definitely fun and know how to have a good time. Fridge was always stocked and got some cool company gear.

      Cons

      Too much fun. Found it to be unprofessional at times. In order to advance you have to be alright with playing the favorites game. Hard to get work done sometimes. Rules on the floor are always changing. Too much growth too fast. Very high turnover rate. Be ready to work lots of hours and not get paid a whole lot for at least 6 months..

      Customer Care-ish

      Customer care specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of snacks and a great break room. Attempts to make the workplace fun, especially considering how depressing the office itself can be. Equity stake in the company is intriguing especially when for referrals.

      Cons

      - Terrible policies, that only serve to protect the business (to be expected) - Training leads you to believe the role is to be an advocate for the customer. Really the expectation is just to listen to the customer gripe, acknowledge the problem, then tell the customer why they are misinformed (which in many instances is the right thing to do but often the repetitive nature of the work leads to true issues never being solved because they are just ignored from the get go) - Everyone is brainwashed. You either buy in or your don't.
