Pros

Honestly, there really are no pros other than having a 'job' & health insurance. They DO provide a company car and a gas card, but again, truthfully, who cares?

Cons

MANDATORY working ALL weekends, MANDATORY stupid, pointless 'training' that covers the same things over and over again. All while acting like and treating the employees like crap. Want to work 60 hours a week for a 40 hours 'salary' (The commissions are all a lie. You do not get paid until install and they make you wait 90-180 per job!). Also, all marketing expenses come out of your 'salary'.

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.
