Pros
I love Tesla and Elon’s companies. I drive a Tesla and would not want any other car. It’s an amazing company and it’s rare to find a job at a company that I actually love. Co workers all over the country are the coolest people. I feel that I belong.
Cons
Pay is low and no benefits. If you don’t love Tesla, you won’t like working here. Most of us put up with the low pay and lack of benefits because of our love for the mission and the products. Tesla definitely takes advantage of employees. At my site, the majority of the employees are part time on paper but required to work 35-40 hours a week in order to have the minimum coverage in the store. Most of us have been there 2+ years and still part time and have been working full time hours the entire duration because Tesla continues to dangle the carrot. It isn’t right that adults with children working full time hours are not provided with health insurance. Management is an extremely high turn around. My site alone has had 3 general managers in 2 years and 3 different regional managers in 2 years.
