      Pros

      -Opportunities to move up a level or two if you're willing to relocate are abundant -Get to meet all kinds of people and build relationships that can turn into other opportunities -You will learn the job quickly and also learn how to improvise in less-then-ideal situations to turn it around -You get to be around $100k cars that can drive themselves and take them out for a spin here and there

      Cons

      -You will be working for Tesla for the mission, NOT THE PAY, which is probably less than you're worth -Since the company is still growing, the roles are often intertwined/blurred and you will not be compensated justly (or at all) for it -A typical work week is a minimum of 40 hrs, each end of quarter can hit a minimum of 60 hr work weeks for 2-4 weeks -You might be pressured to not have a social life, as your new family and friends will be Tesla -Working for Tesla is very idealized and put on a pedestal: everyone must drive a Tesla , major discounts on the car, everyone has met Elon, everyone makes a lot of money- NO, probably 5% have met Elon and drive new Teslas, 20% make enough money to buy a used Tesla. -The list could go on

      Pros

      Interesting vehicles and technology, if a bit lacking in the quality department. Driving said vehicles on a regular basis (though this isn't the same for everyone) Many hard-working and friendly coworkers from different backgrounds

      Cons

      Very minimal training, if there was any training at all. One of my essential job duties (claimed to be 50% of what I'd be doing) was tied up in paperwork for months. Manager was a hyper-inflated zealot who occasionally got into altercations with employees and regularly held up progress by micromanagement and poor planning. Other coworkers all had a generally negative attitude and negative view towards our manager, whose power seemed to be unchecked by the regional manager. Hours were constantly up in the air. Ten hour days were the rule, not the exception. Trips with truck and trailer were rigged to skirt the rules (two people would be sent to switch off on an 11-12 hour drive, since license limits maximum daily driving hours to 10)

      Pros

      Brand recognition for your employer is high. So people have good impression of your profession

      Cons

      poor job opportunities: Will not recognize your skills in any other position if you are in manufacturing Managers show favoritism Female employees are treated with preference Work treats each shift differently with different standards Managers freely browse youtube while underlings are forced to work They do not take my input and suggestions for improvements in workflow The workloads are unevenly balanced or distributed certain lines are understaffed and overworked
