Great Part Time Gig for Product Specialists

Pros

Great place to work if you like talking to people, company culture is extremely strong, everyone believes greatly in the mission of the company. Plus you get to drive the Teslas! Good job if you're a student or just looking for part-time work.

Cons

Not a lot of upward mobility, workplace is very small, salary could be better, not a lot of perks. Company culture is a cult of personality, if you don't completely believe in the ways of Elon then working here may not be for you.

Pros

- Working for a company led by a visionary genius, disrupting the automotive world - Tesla attracts amazing people who are dedicated to the mission and truly aligned with the company's long term plans - Solid and smooth internal processes from HQ (California); HR, legal, etc. - Impeccable product - They value passion for the mission as a top criteria (in pretty much every department) - Drive and skills more important than years of experience to be hired

Cons

- Low-ish salaries (across the board) but that's in exchange for working for one of the greatest companies in the world - Long hours (Though most of us didn't mind that, including myself) - The Product Specialist position has limited potential as a learning experience
