Pros

1.-Excellent training (If you are willing to learn) 2.-Great people 3.-free t shirts?

Cons

1.-This is what I don't get about this company, they will spend a lot of money training you but as any other employee you'll realize that they won't pay you more and you'll just end up doing more and more until you leave and another company will get a well trained guy lol. 2.-Long hours 3.-Lies and lies to try to keep you happy. 4.-Awful communication between departments resulting in a lot of wasted time yup your time. 5.-You'll have to drive your car and they won't pay a cent. 6.-Won't get a raise even if you're the best until your office hits a magical unreachable number bringing motivation down.

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.
