1.) 0 Work life balance. This isn’t a choice either. Unqualified managers that could barely make it as a Wal-Mart greeter tell you what to do. You better do it because if you don’t, you don’t care about your job. The managers will tell you that you have to work 10 hour days in a Home Depot until you meet their goals. This can take a day or two (if you’re a lying scumbag) or it could take a a solid week. You better hit their arbitrary goals or you’re a terrible employee.
2.) False promises. You will be promised $400k a year. What that means is you’re actually going to make $30k year. If you want $70k a year, you better be willing to work 90 hours a week. In Tesla’s eyes, you work for what you bring home. So forget your home life, do the work they demand and you’ll be rich. Not true. You might bring home $70k for devoting your life to a bunch of Solarcity managers that barely made it out of high school but were strong at deceiving people in door to door sales. Imagine that, a door to door sales guy that mislead you? Well, he’s your boss. So...if you want $400k a year, you better get your lying game on. Haha...actually, $400k will never happen. They flat out lied about that.
3.) Carrots. Not the sweet ones that are oh so delicious. You will get carrots dangled in front of you about your potential and how great you are. What they are doing is making you feel good about your background and how you’ll be awesome at Tesla. What really happens is they don’t care. The carrots are there to make you feel good about making ~$5 an hour only to be criticized because you couldn’t make someone commit to a $50k solar install the first time you met with them. Nine times out of 10, if one makes a commitment on the first visit...they decide to cancel. Tesla holds you accountable if your customers don’t commit on the first visit.
4.) Forced to break the law: Tesla encourages their employees to get a customer signature on a legally binding document. What the customer doesn’t know is there is a box where the document is supposed to be notarized. Tesla encourages their employees to forge those legal documents and not tell the customer it should be notarized. They do this by hiring notaries and having one or two per team to back door the notary.
