Pros

Great culture Wonderful cars Interesting and exciting customers Great people to work alongside

Cons

Poor leadership, discrimination, people are promoted due to friendships they have made within managment, forced to work on days off and stay late after work and even work during lunch, 30 minute lunch breaks, lack of organisation, lack of resources, pretty much a circus and vicious circle.

Pros

People are really nice. CEO has a great vision and plan. Benefits are decent, no match on 401k though.

Cons

No work life balance and no one seems to care. Most processes are so manual things take hours to do

Pros

When people hear you say you work for Tesla they think it would be awesome, but it's not.

Cons

Upper Management has no idea what they are doing and can not scale their business or hire according to their needs. Installs take forever because of their lengthy process and many departments that seem to work against each other. They also restructure things often leaving many people laid off with no severance package. The make many promises that are rarely kept. Also no 401k match and you can't expense anything whatsoever as times are tight.
