Pros

You get to learn and educate others on the wonderful mission that is Tesla. Driving the cars is so much fun.

Cons

The commission structure is a little funky and there are some loopholes that make for a sometimes competitive and aggressive environment--especially at the end of the quarter. Base pay is too low for a college graduate. They also over promise when you are hired that there will be room for growth. If you start in a showroom, it is very hard to get out of sales.

Pros

I really enjoy the car and the great people I worked with. Tesla has a great visions and the future looks bright for the company. Glad to have had the experience

Cons

I did not enjoy the bureaucracy that could some times come with the role. This usually came from managers driven to create sales.
