Pros

Most of the people I work with have a strong moral compass, are smart and willing to help eachother whenever needed.

Cons

The pay is very low and insurance benefits were recently reduced. Some of the management personnel do not appreciate the efforts of the employees and they are unaware of the workload. Management does not trust the knowledge of their own team members. Upper Management does not adhere to the company's core values but expects employees to embrace them. Management uses threats to motivate which causes employees to fear them and quit when ever the opportunity allows them to. Management expects team members to posses skills that they have never claimed to possess and when they don't management employs tactics to push that employee to seek out a job change or to quit. The only way to increase pay is through promotion but only certain types are promoted.

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.
