Pros

very energetic company, has passion for what they do. Your managers really work with you to help you succeed and there is constant training. Learned lots of new sales skills with this company. Company car and gas card for the outside sales role is also a huge plus. Base pay helps as well.

Cons

Way too many changes in the company, pretty much weekly. They constantly change their sales goals and quotas. They also change compensation options quite often. Sometimes these changes do not benefit employees that have been with the company for 3+ years. They also increased my responsibilities without higher compensation.

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.
