Pros

At least you got a job. Money is good only if you wanna work at least 18hrs a day for 6 days a week but will never earn close to $70,000.

Cons

Turn over rate is very high not because they got promoted but because they fire people at high rated especially if you are not white. This company have a "12 year a slave" mentality. Don't fall for the stock pitch; it is not stock it is options and it is only worth anything if the stock price is above the price they give you the stock options or try to rework the deal their are going to give you. The will promise you but will never deliver. They want you to work so they could capture as much market share as possible and the only which profits is the people to the top

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.
