Pros

They do their best to make it a comfortable environment to work in and keep up camaraderie amongst staff members to instill a team attitude. A lot of room to grow as a person. Hours aren't that bad (typically 11AM - 7PM 5 days a week).

Cons

Unrealistic expectations. Expectations are set on a national scale. The problem with that is if states in the West and Southwest experience 90% market penetration by Solar but you're an FES in a state like Deleware, New Jersey or Pennsylvania, then you'll underperform. This is something upper management doesn't understand.

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.
