Pros
Tesla is the most exciting company you can work for today. It feels like a startup where you're directly contributing to changing the world but is big enough and has enough money to treat their employees well. By no means is it like working at Facebook or Twitter (there are little to no perks beyond pay and brand name) but it does make you proud of what you are doing with your life while you are there. This is something that is extremely rare to find anywhere else. People work here because they WANT to work here not because they want to get rich. On that note... the pay for hard working Owner Advisors is VERY good. I watched the sales organization revamp at least 10 times to what it is today and I can honestly say it is a world class paying sales organization for the product it sells. With time the company will be a much better place to work. It's still an infant in the tech and auto industries and middle management reflects that.
Cons
Middle management is some of the worst management I've seen at any company. Power struggles and inexperience run rampant. This is currently being fixed as poor managers with too much power are being demoted or moved. Competition within sales used to be playful and inspiring but now is a determent from being able to do your job well. It's an awful culture within sales. It really has turned in to a huge cat fighting mess. Great culture and attitude within the overall company though and a focus on "the mission". There is also virtually no room to grow within the sales organization. Once you are an Owner Advisor, there is nowhere else to go. Become a Store Manager? Make less money in commission. After awhile you loose the will to stay on the grind. P.S. time off in sales is strongly and silently discouraged.
