Pros

Solar panels help the environment

Cons

Company is very unorganized, they screw permits and paperwork up constantly. The Leadership is terrible, they dont care if youre up to date on training and even want you to comb over contracts to get sales. Most people working there could care less about helping the environment and are all about money. You will be fired for missing quota, or worse, you could be laid off without notice like I was. Last, they didn't even send me my tax info, I had to send 3 emails thus far and it angered me to the point of writing this review. If you still want a job with them, just tell them you want to make a lot of money.

Pros

Just to quantify my review a bit, I am within the top 10% of inside sales reps within our 12,000 person company. It is a great place to work and people doing well ARE able to make good money here. The executive team ALWAYS has a platform for reps to help make SolarCity a better place every quarter. They involve the top 20 reps each quarter in various ways to help their peers through an interactive group called Team Elite. Executives, VP's, Directors, and Managers are always willing to help and go to bat when there are issues with things that need to be fixed. The direction of the company is consistent and although the company is large, decision makers work as hard as possible to steer the big ship quickly when necessary.

Cons

Knee jerk reactions with decision making at a director level create issues from time to time. Culture has had its ups and downs due to HUGE growth last year and subsequent high attrition rates.
