Pros

Good benefits - Health Dental Vision Exciting time for the company Catering and cafeteria is excellent Stock options could be worthwhile eventually

Cons

I️ got switched to nights with 3 day warning. This ruined my plans to attend college in the fall during days. It also took away time with my spouse since we are now on opposite schedules and removed my willfulness to do overtime. Manager told me “that’s business.” No formal training. All my training has been OJT or word of mouth. Poor organization and no one ever seems to really know what is going on.

Pros

Good vision, may be a leader in innovation one day

Cons

Most kids working at Tesla have never had a job and now they are your supervisor. They’ll ask for feedback on how to make the department better and pass them off as their ideas. Cut throat, lots of gossip and atmosphere like high school. New CEO doesn’t care about Solar business only his cars. No leads, commission cut, and very low pay for industry.
