Pros

This Job has two pros. Your Co-workers and the pay. Like any job, your co-workers are helpful and always there for you. The pay is ok, can be better. If you are in need of some income, work here and keep applying to the job that you want.

Cons

Dont let them sweet talk you. This job is really frustrating. Customers can be rude to you and so can management. There are many restrictions in this company that make it impossible for you to get a good amount of final deals. If you get final deals below quota , you wont get paid. You must get quota to get paid. You have no control over final deals. You are only in Home Depot, talking to the same customer, every single day. There are good days, but the negativity in the company outweighs it all. If you get this job, look for the employment you want. Dont stress it.

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.
