Pros

Great environment for younger people, can be high energy, great place to learn sales techniques before moving to better companies.

Cons

Very disorganized, they want a ton of overtime, they take half of your commissions, they're very high-pressure sales goals and will let you go if you have a bad month regardless of the situation. They aren't very upfront about monthly expectations, you often find out what's expected of you after you've missed the mark, like being set up to fail. The management is very cliquey and favoritism is extreme here. It's promoted as a fun place to work, but really those who play at work get looked down on severely. The environment can be distracting and hard to focus in. There is a ton of sexism here and extremely high turnover.

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.
