Pros

Company car, little oversight which also means you teach yourself the job. Vacation time you will never get to use (but no 401k match). Somehow the company manages to hire good people to work with although they will all be short lived. A decent product you can feel good about selling when the company doesn't mess jobs up.

Cons

Unprofessional managers who give no support. Horrible pay, unreasonable expectations. Their model rests all the work on the consultant with no support, training, or guidance. This is a horrible model. The company is not profitable, as a result you will be underpaid for the work you will need to put in to pull jobs through. Pay was held when I finally left, manager lied to upper management about the terms of my leave. There is no work life balance and a poisonous negative culture in the company from management down who rule in fear. Top producers have one off month and all that previous performance is forgotten.

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.
