Pros

Direct deposit is available. Paid holidays.

Cons

Lowest commissions in the Inland Empire. 90% sales force turnover within first 6 months. Expensive health insurance. Unpredictable and last minute schedule changes. They expect you to be available from 7 am until 9 pm 7 days a week. A very us and them attitude with management. Management replaces people daily and customers yell at us for harassing them. We are forced to account for and to actively update our personal schedules and make them available to our managers so that we can be productive 24/7. No pay raises at all. The in home sales training is terrible and the programs they use are ancient. Charge backs without proof. The Las Vegas sales trips are cheap and cheaply done and winners never seem to get paid.

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.
