Great for the pay in a dead end job

Pros

Pay is good for what you do and it’s a decent stepping stone. Benefits are pretty good.

Cons

Every thing. It seems to be a common theme in almost all departments that the wrong people are in positions of power due to who they know and not what they know. Asking valid questions about the idiotic decisions that the senior management team has made will get you black listed from their inner circle. In my department if you didn’t come from Apple then you were dead on arrival, good luck thinking you’d ever get anywhere other than your current position. Many coworkers who are paid a much higher salary are given a pass from their daily responsibilities due to knowing the right people and brown nosing their way in. Hard work is NOT recognized here, you may get a pat on the back and be told that you’re valued here, but pay stays the same while the manager’s inner circle gets all the promotions while contributing very little to the team. The time off is severely lacking, hourly employees are second

Just Don’t Do It

Pros

Pay rate (with overtime) Health, dental, and vision insurance is very low cost

Cons

Micromanagement constantly No sitting at all unless you can get a dr note No cell phone use (but also your phone is your work device so not sure why that is) You will be standing around doing nothing a lot because line is down a lot but they still expect you to act like your busy so investors touring plant think we’re doing better than we actually are as far as production Not confident this place will exist in even 2 years so job security is nonexistent Battery area is insanely high risk (batteries go thermal at least once a month and every time that happens it’s like of like a bomb going off in your face)

Pros

all the overtime you want! and then 12 more hours! great team leads, INCREADABLE Cafeteria , outstanding onboarding good pay GENEROUS RSO's , bonuses and ESP WONDERFUL CORPERATE MISSION AMAZING product Especially considering the lack of automotive history of the founder and the leadership

Cons

all the overtime you want and then 12 more hours you didn't. I tried to reach out to HR through "the propper channels" nd3 days later had to follow up because no one reached back out. by the time someone id replay, and I'd explained the issue a 2nd time, I didn't hear anything , NOTHING for over a week. By the time I heard back from anyone it was the "you have been terminated" email because I didn't go in and gave up on calling in every day after 9 days and not getting any support. My issue? I couldn't physically continue to work general assembly, leaning into and out of the vehicles 5 times, bending , kneeling at odd angles, for 12 hour shifts and was trying to get an accommodation to do something less physically stressful for part of my shift. I was so excited to be part of Rivian and SO disappointed with their HR's Not relaying my concern from my first attempt, then leaving me hanging for over a week after I talked to them again.
