Pros

Tesla provides a unique opportunity to learn and grow around luxury electric vehicles. Benefits are good.

Cons

Not a lot of room to grow in your region. If you want to experience more, become a technician or apply for the corporate office.

Pros

the vision and mission of the company is inspiring; the cars are amazing in their own way.

Cons

China is the second largest market for Tesla and everyone here at Tesla China is working their butts off to reach every target sales/inventory sales for the quarter; * We get paid by 3 times less than avg Tesla employees in the US (a product specialist get paid about $6.34/hr before tax in China), while striving to double and even triple the amount of sales quarter after quarter. * With only 20- 30 Tesla stores opened to date in China, headcounts from sales to delivery to order operations are extremely limited due to low budget set by the company, everyone is working 3-4 times over what they were signed up for, while enjoy the lowest base pay across the planet. * Provided the so-called best health insurance for employees, but it was mainly a hoax. No one likes to work until totally exhausted and burnt up then go to see the doctors for free hospital rooms. And more importantly, we simply don't have the time to enjoy free massages because of the tons load amount of work * Liability/Responsibility is very high. You can get warned and fired for almost anything relevant to a customer complaint. *The number of sales regulations are booming like rockets, you just get bombed with all the policy changes and sales strategy changes. Ask for a 3 days off and then come back, I guarantee you will think that you are at a different company. And as product specialist, we are essentially doing the same work as owner advisors, from the greetings to customers all the way to the end of their delivery, you have to be with the customers every step of the way, while maintaining your KPI ( and most of our KPI is far more difficult to maintain compare to our colleagues in the US)
