Pros
-Motivated camaraderie in the first couple months on the job. -Great mission. -Awesome cars to take on test drive.
Cons
-The sales quota changes constantly as an Advisor. (Tesla makes it impossible to hit goal and get paid) At the beginning of 2019 Elon cut commission for about a month then had Advisors begin selling solar on top of the cars without getting paid commission. This completely demoralized entire sales team in Orange County to complete sales for the end of quarter. ( My managers were speechless with no reassurance, co-workers were breaking down, top performers were resigning) Imagine having a rock star top performer quit who brought the company sales of over $60 million each year. -Layoffs every quarter. Typically extreme bottom performers in sales and in the delivery team its people that the delivery managers do not like. -Top performers in sales are not recognized appropriately. (Promotion above Tesla Advisor is extremely difficult because of politics)
