Not a good place to work if you want a life - Senior Field Energy Consultant SolarCity Employee Review

Pros

#1 in their market place.

Cons

No work - life balance. Expected to work seven days a week, 10 to 12 hours a day. The only important thing for management is numbers. I worked there ten months and did well with sales, but it wasn't enough. Young Regional Managers who use to be sales people, but don't belong in management because they have no true management experience. Cliquish environment. Constant revolving door of managers and employees.

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.
