Customer Care-ish - Customer Care Specialist SolarCity Employee Review

Pros

Lots of snacks and a great break room. Attempts to make the workplace fun, especially considering how depressing the office itself can be. Equity stake in the company is intriguing especially when for referrals.

Cons

- Terrible policies, that only serve to protect the business (to be expected) - Training leads you to believe the role is to be an advocate for the customer. Really the expectation is just to listen to the customer gripe, acknowledge the problem, then tell the customer why they are misinformed (which in many instances is the right thing to do but often the repetitive nature of the work leads to true issues never being solved because they are just ignored from the get go) - Everyone is brainwashed. You either buy in or your don't.

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.
