Not Worth It

Pros

great product and mission, very cool to be able to drive and know the cars, some genuinely fun people to work with

Cons

no work/life balance, they don't care about employees as people, very little opportunity to move up, new directives constantly, competitive and inhuman approach to sales (all numbers based and no acknowledgement for building trust with customers, just want numbers to look good) which goes against everything they say they want their customers' sales experience to be, they act like a part time job should take precedence over all else in one's life

Pros

Young growing company with many ways to make a difference.

Cons

Pay is suffocating. Very industrial revolution style work and management: same task over and over--people are just bodies to push buttons.

Pros

You will be forced to learn a lot very quickly. Everyone will be excited (including yourself in the beginning) that you work for Tesla.

Cons

The company does not care about their people although that is the message that is broadcast on a daily basis. Employees are viewed as replaceable puppets all for the amusement of a billionaire. Hard work, dedication, loyalty and commitment are not valued.
