SolarCity reviews

Home Depot leads are dwindling. Management rules by authority, most management don't have a lick of real sales experience in the company. Minimal salary. Large installs can take 6 months. Commission is paid at the end of the next month after the solar installation (seems like years for most sales reps to get paid.) Here's the kicker: The quota is 5 net sales per month with a maximum of 40% cancel ratio; which means that if you sell 10 deals a month and 60% go to installation, by definition 4 will cancel. Assume those 4 customer cancels (for any reason), come at the beginning of the next month, you have to dig yourself out of the hole and sell 5 (monthly quota) plus make up for the 4 cancels, so 9 deals in that month plus manage your pipeline. Don't forget about that 60% install ratio? So the next month even 1 customer cancels, you need to sell 10 that month! Etc...This process becomes relentless after a year of generating accounts as the position requires baby siting the customers from beginning to the end (several months later) because no one else in the company assists with progressing the accounts to the next stage.

low pay for the work, management constantly changing expectations
