Pros

great managers for sales out in the field and in the Home Depots, sales reps are friendly, fun and hard working

Cons

Poor compensation, rules are constantly changing by demanding more and more from sales people, super high turnover, must meet quota even if on vacation or your fired this results in over work and everyone feeling that their job is in constant jeopardy even if their sales are excellent. Corporate just wants to dominate every roof and that is all they care about. Firing people is what corporate does best and they are proud of 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.
