Pros

Fairly easy product to sell. Elon Musk. The original comp plan.

Cons

They changed the processes and comp plan WAY to frickin often. The philosophy of only pay people if they work is admirable and as things should be in a perfect world. But let's revisit the real world for a minute. If you force people to work harder than they expect the job should be, you will have less than desired results. A person is only going to work as hard as the company expects them to. Those driven by money and power will work harder. However...the majority of your workforce are average everyday normal hard working people...NOT the kind you designed the comp plan around. Therefore...You will fail. Come back to reality please.

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.
