Pros

Interesting vehicles and technology, if a bit lacking in the quality department. Driving said vehicles on a regular basis (though this isn't the same for everyone) Many hard-working and friendly coworkers from different backgrounds

Cons

Very minimal training, if there was any training at all. One of my essential job duties (claimed to be 50% of what I'd be doing) was tied up in paperwork for months. Manager was a hyper-inflated zealot who occasionally got into altercations with employees and regularly held up progress by micromanagement and poor planning. Other coworkers all had a generally negative attitude and negative view towards our manager, whose power seemed to be unchecked by the regional manager. Hours were constantly up in the air. Ten hour days were the rule, not the exception. Trips with truck and trailer were rigged to skirt the rules (two people would be sent to switch off on an 11-12 hour drive, since license limits maximum daily driving hours to 10)

Pros

Brand recognition for your employer is high. So people have good impression of your profession

Cons

poor job opportunities: Will not recognize your skills in any other position if you are in manufacturing Managers show favoritism Female employees are treated with preference Work treats each shift differently with different standards Managers freely browse youtube while underlings are forced to work They do not take my input and suggestions for improvements in workflow The workloads are unevenly balanced or distributed certain lines are understaffed and overworked

Pros

a large and young company with good commitment to improve the environment.

Cons

Not very collaborative working environment. Seem management following Elon's hero style as showing individual glory instead of team work. Also heavily using financial leverage to run the company money source due to large spending in capital funds for future growth.
