Pros

It is a company that has a bright future ahead of it! It is young, vibrant, and full of life!

Cons

Management will not cut anyone slack. If you are going into the last couple days of the month, and you have not met your quota, you can count on being laid off. My story is as follows: I had 6 sales going into the last day of the month, with a quota of 8. I had 6 appointments booked for the day, with 4 of them at contract signature stage, which is them digitally signing the contract, and that is it. Rather than let me work the full day, and see if I make it, they laid me off at 9:30 AM, after I came in early at 8 AM to work with some clients. When I looked at the check, it was dated for the day before. I thought that was pretty shady.

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.
