Pros

1. You have control of your schedule 2. Company car is given to you provided you pass the 90 days probation AND you have high numbers 3. Base salary is provided plus commission. 3. great medical/dental/life benefits.

Cons

1. Work becomes your life as without the time you MUST spend to generate leads via Home Depots/Best Buy or generating self gens, work is your life. 2. Upper management has lost contact of what the sales life is about. There is NO protection for the sales reps. 3. Must be there one year before you can be promoted or change to another position. 4. Elimination of roof types and no inclusion of the need for roof repair or electrical have dinged the ability for the numbers the company experienced in growth over the last year. Now it is a revolving door for sales reps. 5. Unrealistic high numbers for goals for the sales reps.

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.
