Pros

Interesting job where you can learn

Cons

Unreasonable target expectations. Poor to non-existent leadership culture. Highly unorganized company. HR is completely unresponsive. They don’t provide ergonomics even if you have work related injuries. High stress environment with no work-life balance. Middle management know the deadlines and expectations are unrealistic but don’t do anything about it. They try to blame you with stats that they themselves say are far from trustworthy. Compensation is poor and stocks vest in long time. People are constantly being switched through different workflows and different teams with no reasonable criteria.

Pros

Exciting to be around cool new vehicles. Ability to move around within the company is pretty easy.

Cons

Management at showrooms is (sometimes) a complete disaster. Nobody at my showroom knew what they were doing. Some co-workers were very smart and nice but many were incredibly unintelligent and back-stabbing. Owner Advisors act like they're celebrities-- ordering people around non-stop. You spend most of your day talking to people in the showrooms, trying to get "leads." The managers at my location had such unfathomably high expectations that I had to create fake "leads" just to meet my quota. I was regularly disrespected by management, particularly when I worked at Delivery. We were working our tails off and management showed no appreciation for how hard we were working. Policies shifted drastically (sometimes seemingly based off Elon's whims) I got involved with company because I believed in green energy but most of the people I worked with wouldve been just as happy selling toxic sludge. They'll have youe working 7 days a week the entire year if you don't push back.
