Pros

Help the environment. Company car. Full benefits.

Cons

What they tell you isn't always true to the area you work. I would like to believe that the company is still good deep down somewhere but the national average isn't always true local to where you are. Most of the higher management doesn't care about the lower employees. We are just numbers and bodies to slave drive to get management what they want. I was lucky to have a great manager but that's because he has integrity. As soon as I was switched to a different team, support and integrity was out the window. They talk a big game about work/life balance but it's all just talk. You work way over what is expected and do more then what they initially tell you are your job duties. Management hides behind the teams and use them as scapegoats to save themselves. Want to take a few days off? Forget it. It's all about numbers and running us into the ground. Employee beware.

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.
