Pros

The cars are always fun to drive, but delivering a new dream car to a client and seeing their excitement made my job fun. Your good work will go unnoticed and unrecognized by management.

Cons

I worked as an Operations Advisor at Tesla for a year and an half and it was one of the worst experiences of my professional life. The work environment was toxic, with constant pressure to meet unrealistic targets and deadlines, and a culture of fear and intimidation. Management was completely disorganized and lacked clear direction, leading to constant changes in priorities and objectives. This made it difficult to plan and execute tasks effectively, resulting in a stressful and chaotic work environment. Compensation was subpar for the amount of work expected, and there was very little opportunity for advancement or professional growth. Additionally, the work-life balance was terrible, with long hours and no flexibility or support for employees who needed time off for personal or family reasons. Overall, I would not recommend working at Tesla as an Operations Advisor. The company has a lot of potential, but the culture and management style need serious improvement before it can be a great place to work.

Pros

Meeting some nice people, snacks and being able to charge your car while at work. Becareful of who you trust here, there are some people that will stab you in the chest to get ahead! Or at least think they're getting ahead!

Cons

If you want a miserable, soul crushing job, that's just a job, this is it! If you're on day shift, be ready to start at 5:25am and be forced to work a 8-12 hour day! Do you know when you'll go home at any specific time, no. You won't find out until your quota is met! There is no work life balance here, whatsoever! Whether you have experience or not, it doesn't matter here. They just throw you in and hope for the best! Tesla hires anybody, so if you're a convicted felon, rapist or whatever you're welcome here. There's a lot of favoritism here, so if you're good at kissing butt than this place is for you. If you have no options left in life and you're desperate for a job, come here. This is a type of job that is just that, a job. Nothing else. This isn't a career. This is a place where hopes and dreams go to die. A lot of work needs to be done here to improve the quality of life. Uppermanagement sucks, they throw you a bunch of bs and tell you that they're working on work life balance but that's all smoke and mirror's. When I mean uppermanagement, I'm talking about above the leads and supervisors.
