Pros

The pay was generous and the product is good as customer doesn't have to pay money upfront for solar. Its instant savings and your loyal customers become your salesmen. You manage your hours. You're kind of your own boss. Medical benefits

Cons

Never heard from my manager. My recruiter tried taking my entire first month of commission. The commission was generous and have been getting paid less for my work. I was recently put on termination status without notice. I finally found out my manager has been on termination status and a bunch of reps were put in termination status.

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.
