Pros

You literally get to help save the world! And you can meet some pretty great people along the way

Cons

What was once a great place to work has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. Salespeople are continuing to be laid off while management has no accountability. Managers seem to be kept based on popularity rather than merit and therefore salespeople receive little to no coaching or support. The Directors micro manage and the VP is never around. Every day I see good people leave due to the gross mismanagement. Also, this is a total boys club. As a woman in sales I don't feel like women have opportunities to move into leadership. There were only two female managers and one of them (the best one) recently left.

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.
