Pros

The culture here is amazing. I came from retail and this is night and day. I never thought I would want to go back into sales after working in sales for 5-6 years but this is different. I don't feel like I am selling. I am doing home owners a favor by educating them on this great opportunity to go solar. So the pressure isn't the same as old sales jobs. It feels so good to help a family out, to make a huge difference in their life and the planet. Its rewarding and I make great money doing it. The company is growing so fast so there is a lot of room for growth here. I love that! So many cool changes and they are always for the better. I hope to retire here and continue telling y family and friends about SolarCity!

Cons

It takes a few months to start making money so make sure you have money saved before coming over. I wasn't a phones sales person so it took me a little longer to get it but not I do very well and make great money.

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.
