Couldn't Afford the Job - Anonymous employee SolarCity Employee Review

-It took a very long time to get hired. Almost an entire month went by while I waited for (who knows what) and once I got hired, I was required to do a training which started 2 weeks post official hire date. -The training is LONG. I was told 9-5 (ish) but with homework, it lasted until 12-1am with maybe an hour break to eat dinner. Don't make other plans for after training. The training is only 5 days, so that's not completely unbearable, but considering it's unpaid, it kind of sucks. I've never had a job where they don't pay you to attend training. -Training had nothing to do with the job itself, but only how to present to a customer what the system would do for them and look like on their home. The process is a lot more involved and I had very little training from management. -Even with the bonus incentives, there's a good chance you won't see those bonuses for 2-4 weeks depending on the payroll cycle assuming that the objectives were completed properly. So plan on not getting paid for 2 months minimum after getting hired. I personally couldn't afford to stick out this job, but I hear you can make a pretty nice paycheck once you get going.
