Pros

Best experience to make something out of nothing

Cons

It's a startup. So you are expected to hustle and get it done.

Pros

Get to drive the cars. Meet some amazing people.

Cons

Extremely Boring. You repeat the price of the cars over and over again. On weekends you get to enhance your parenting skills as you constantly have children running in and out of the cars whilst managers and sales advisors 'work.' You are rated on how many leads you can get however the product specialists who get promoted have the lowest number of leads. Management never give you feedback on how you're doing unless Elon or somebody from corporate maybe visiting the store. Did I mention how extremely boring it is...... With no price guidelines anywhere on the shop floor repeating the same thing just gets annoying. You will definitely at one point have to come in on your day off. The company is so reactive to situations its scary, no sense of organisation at all. It took me 6 weeks to get my Tesla uniform for work and business cards, everything just takes long. Some product specialist actually do the role of sales advisors and get nothing for it. Have to work late shifts and weekends

Pros

The pay is good, and they compensate for overtime, while you're working as an intern. Also, it's in Northern California, and the climate is fantastic.

Cons

The company is full of stressed out people, and turnover rate is high, based on an expectation of unrealistic productivity levels in its employees.
