Pros

They give you company car,internet and laptop and start you at $30,000 salary plus commission

Cons

Management is a joke!!! rude and disrespectful, cussing all the time like its not a big deal,don't care about their employees unless you got hired as part of the referral program,then you get promoted even if you have no idea how to do even your current job.They don't give you time to learn and adjust,if you don't hit your quota 2 month you are gone! They make it seem like its a great place to work and you are part of making this planet better place but thats not true!!! All they care is numbers,they want you to close everything,not ethical.they will tell you you can make 100k easy and you will realistically make about 45k. it takes 3-4 month to get paid, 40% of your jobs will get canceled!! Think twice before join this company!!!!

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.
