Pros

Production always has overtime since people are always hurt and quitting which is bittersweet The shuttle helps commuters since we don’t make enough to live close to work without a roommate or partner

Cons

Quality department AMs and upper management are very biased when it comes to hiring their friends and people of the same race Pay not adequate for how hard the jobs are All about who you know not what you know so an butt kisser will get promoted first especially since they are always low on hard working people on the line since the harder workers leave due to mistreatment Used to get 2 raises a year but now we get 1 They also lowered how much we get when we do get a raise You can get a written or verbal warning when someone has an accusation even if there’s no proof They always expect more of you even though they have consistently lowered pay

Pros

The name Tesla on a resume Benefits are pretty good

Cons

Toxic workplace environment Management searches for ways to not pay employees such as changing metrics to ensure lower employee scores Very incompetent management that includes underpaid and under qualified candidates that cannot write properly Nepotism and being white are the only ways to get promoted in this department Diversity and inclusion is advertised but there has not been a minority promotion hire in the department since last year No windows in workspace and desks are not even a foot apart. 2 weeks notice is required to call off for vacation time and even then it is not guaranteed
