Pros

Plenty of overtime but NO RAISES for certain teams. Depending on your supervisor, if you get one of the 3 who have been there the longest, you’ll get the possibility of a raise. If you get on Rocket Garden or High Bay team… good luck. You won’t see a raise, but you will see 5+ supervisors in less than 2 years who get to determine your worth/raise ability.

Cons

New managers & supervisors every 6-7 months, making it impossible for certain teams to get raises based off performance since they don’t know us or what we’re capable of. Other teams advance & get raises every year, meanwhile others have huge turnover because of terrible leaderships. Constantly changing hours, promising days off, nothing at all is consistent out at Boca Chica. Went from AWS schedule to working 5+ days a week 10+ hour days. Obviously frustrating when we aren’t receiving any support from management and terrible reviews from individuals who have been there less time than us, reviewing is at 1.8’s from 3.8’s.

Pros

If you thrive in chaos and love to be continuously challenged I highly recommend. The hardest, most frustrating, and highly rewarding experiences you're likely to ever encounter. If you are proactive, curious, collaborative, and humble you'll do great.

Cons

If you're goal is to maintain status quo, not willing to continuously develop, and give < 110% everyday, this is not the place for you. Note: The office politics can be treacherous at times, not for the faint of heart.

Pros

The place is a sweat shop…. They don’t give a damn about their employees…..

Cons

Plenty of reasons not to work there but more than anything it is very hard work and they are constantly saying you are not fast enough…. If I was an astronaut, I wouldn’t set foot near these things….
