Working at SolarCity in Las Vegas, NV: 5 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Las Vegas, NV Area

"Seems like SolarCity inside sales is the lowest-paying in the industry. Crazy how they are getting away with the low amount of money they pay their employees. Example, if a system generates $50k in revenue and takes 3 months to install, you would be compensated roughly $500 for it. 3 months of work for that??!!? The rest of the industry is paying a lot more. Turnover is unreal. Every single month so many people are quitting once they realize that everything they were told are smoke and mirrors. On top of all of this there is no support from management at all. Managers are in meetings all day long so it's survival of the fittest. If you don't end up converting your leads at a high percentage every 3 days then you will fall to the bottom of the queue and not receive any more calls. I was actually one of the top producers that left to work for Sunrun and it is night-and-day different. Also spoke with Vivint and they are much better aligned for pay and the support to succeed as well. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID AND WORK FOR SOLARCITY. YOU WILL REGRET IT."

"9 months in SolarCity is growing at breakneck speed with little thought to infrastructure and human resource planning. What a wonderful cause and product though. I hope I can outlast the growing pains."

"Solar City has been the best thing that ever happened to me."

"Free cereal and snacks don't make up for lying and cutting salary on all salespeople. Installations always pushed out, delayed, or cancelled - seeing a commission is non-existent. Hiring quotas (easy to get hired due to this), sales quotas, call quotas, any quota you can name is there. Turnover happens every day. Corporate only interested in getting homeowners locked into 20 year contracts - they want to bargain the financials for seats on the energy board. Their real purpose - leverage."

"So many people have come and gone since I've been here - especially in sales, It's a revolving door! You will work plenty of OT without pay (if you are exempt - that may change soon). Free cereal, coffee and sodas are the only perk. They are there to keep you at your desks and help avoid breaks. I got an hourly rate, but sales group had their pay constantly changed/ lowered through various programs deviously designed by senior sales management.EVERYONE has a quota even if your not in sales."
