Pros

Part of a big movement. Company strives to make the work fun and challenging. Good outlook for the future. The benefits are good. If you plan on staying in the company for four years. You will get some share of the stock. Great job for when you are attending college. If you are soon to be college grad or is a college grad, highly not recommended.

Cons

Employee have a negative outlook on the internal structure. There is no review or outlook on career development from the manager. No outlook on moving up as there are other tenure who have not moved up. Some employee gets stuck on low hourly pay and doesn’t get raise despite the fact that new hires employee gets payed more than the tenure employee. Manager only cares about the number. Says they car about employee but the action says “no”. Does not care about employees input on operations.

Local Traffic is like los angeles Only Directors can afford Tesla Products No 401k matching Horrible Medical, Vision insurance Upper Management keep you out of your own projects Your Vacation pay is PTO, your sick days are PTO. If you get sick for a week, well there goes your vacation you were saving for.

Pros

The products and missions of the company don't even make up for the horrible management. No one deserves to be treated the way they treat their employees.

Cons

-They expect you to work for nothing and will pay you nothing -Illegal activity is encouraged and rewarded -Do not expect basic human respect -You will be promised promotions but will most likely never receive them -Management is incompetent and unprofessional -Unsafe work environment for women
