Vantaggi

Company car. Make your own hours. Good benefits.

Svantaggi

You are required to make 7 net sales per month. To net 7 sales you need to make 10 sales per month because 3 will cancel before installation due to structural reasons, buyers remorse, etc. With this said, if you want to be human and take two days off per week you would need to make a sale every other day to gross 10 sales. 90% of people can not do this even if you feel you are a great salesperson. Good people get fired every month. Also, the company gives you warm leads from Home Depot and Best Buy when you are new. When you reach 8+ months with the company they give you less and less HD and BB leads because they feel you are a veteran and can now get leads on your own. Some of the Home Depot and Best Buy(in store) reps are giving the hot leads to other solar companies sales reps because they are getting paid more(on the side) from them than solarcity. This job looks good on paper but in reality it is not what is says. You can work really hard and make no sales. Kind of like selling real estate or insurance. You are on your own. Very stressful job.

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.
