Pros
Don't be fooled by the review title. If you think that's 100% good thing, you're mistaken. This company has a very very very easy sales process. They've dumbed it down to the point that a caveman could do it Standard pricing for everyone, zero lateral or vertical maneuverability allowed from the sales reps which completely removes all room for error EXCEPT for system design. If you can live inside a LOCKED ecosystem, for which only certain customers fit the SolarCity mold, then this company is for you! Their name and brand recognition is top of the line and people already trust it. They're technology is far and away better than most companies have today. So easy to sign people up and get the project booked.
Cons
I could go on for days about the cons. Again the title of this review is The "Apple Inc" of the Solar industry. Most of you know just how bad Apple really is. You didn't drink the kool-aid and buy into the flashy marketing for devices that have 10 year old features that have been available to everyone on the only suitable platform, Android. Solar is the same. There are so many options out there for employment in this industry that SolarCity has forgotten one important thing, Pay your reps money. Not peanuts. Hire LOCAL people that think for themselves to work with the utility companies and stop reading from a script. SolarCity is THE SLOWEST company in California to install job. The Slowest. it's absurd. They're is also speculation that they're capping their sales reps at around 6 installs a month because of how much money the company is losing to operate each day. Bottom line, if you're 20-25 years old. this is a great 1st start, but you DO NOT want to stay long, Get in, learn solar , learn how they do it, and then find a company that pays real money for install. Hint: it's triple what SolarCity pays for same size systems. Not to mention you'll have 100% more control over your deals if you're smarter than a 5th grader. There is so much to learn in this industry to give customers what they want. SolarCity has no plans to operate outside their little bubble of they claim are qualified jobs. Which is very unfortunate for thousands of blindly loyal followers and employees of this company.
