Pros

Training is hardcore but you learn so much about the great things that this company is doing and its pretty inspirational. I love knowing that i will always be taken care of insurance wise because they use the best companies without charging you half your paycheck. I can literally see us growing and getting bigger by the day, which means faster promotions.

Cons

It isn't a game or a quick way to get free housing and just sit on your butt and do nothing all day, its hard work but if you keep your mind right and stay focused, the hard work doesn't last long. I've taken a lot of cold showers, and my bed is filled with air and has a plug. I know a guy that had to sleep on the floor for like 4 months just to save his spot with this company, so that once his hiring process was complete, he could start selling. Pay is great though.

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.
