Vantaggi

-Great potential commission -Benefits -Pretty good hours

Svantaggi

-It took a very long time to get hired. Almost an entire month went by while I waited for (who knows what) and once I got hired, I was required to do a training which started 2 weeks post official hire date. -The training is LONG. I was told 9-5 (ish) but with homework, it lasted until 12-1am with maybe an hour break to eat dinner. Don't make other plans for after training. The training is only 5 days, so that's not completely unbearable, but considering it's unpaid, it kind of sucks. I've never had a job where they don't pay you to attend training. -Training had nothing to do with the job itself, but only how to present to a customer what the system would do for them and look like on their home. The process is a lot more involved and I had very little training from management. -Even with the bonus incentives, there's a good chance you won't see those bonuses for 2-4 weeks depending on the payroll cycle assuming that the objectives were completed properly. So plan on not getting paid for 2 months minimum after getting hired. I personally couldn't afford to stick out this job, but I hear you can make a pretty nice paycheck once you get going.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
