Pros

Free snacks, coffee, and BBQ once in a while. Overall culture was fun. Interesting information to learn in training. PS our trainer was absolutely awesome.. Did a great job!!

Cons

Felt very mislead in regards to the earning potential and comp plan. Promised the world and feel short. They stated average specialist was making 15k... This is not even close to being true. You get 2k base plus bonus. Comp plan recently lowered plus average install time is 4-6 months. DO THE MATH!! do not make the same mistake I did. Ask about the commission per panel and the average system size. Let the real figures speak for themselves.

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.
