Pros

I love Lyndon and Peter and the vision of the company. They truly do help people and re changing the world.

Cons

You can't trust anyone below lyndon and peter rive. The company says "One team One Dream" and then deliberately sets up policies that create one department to steal and work against other departments. There are 5 different types of sales departments and since there is no commission splits inside reps steal from FEC',s REC's and FEC's don't get along (why are they're even REC's making sales and not just lead generators???) DEC's are trying to door knock and get business around FEC REC and inside leads installs. It's the worse set up for any company drive to accomplish the overall goal because you always have to watch your back. Then the want you to get referrals but they mess up so many times with customer service, permits, documents, sales tools don't work, etc etc. You want more referrals? How about treat your sales people correctly and have the right support people in place to make jobs run smoothly. I'm so sad that this company has such great potential and its being ruined by the nonsense that could easily be rectified

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.
