Pros

Can’t even really think of any. Driving a P100D around the block once or twice?

Cons

- Incompetent management who do not have the managerial or product knowledge of their own staff - Low pay, with no opportunity of commission or bonuses or car allowance or company car - Unrealistic expectations and nothing you do for them is good enough - Long hours without compensation, an expectation put on you for “the love of Tesla” Management put Tesla on a pedestal and feed you nonsense and fear based leadership to make you believe you are replaceable because everyone wants to work for Tesla. Favourites are promoted over people who work hard or are good at their job, clearly because current management feel threatened that others could do their job better than them. Tesla need to look after their staff, happy customers and good statistics will follow. No one likes being treated like a slave, expected to work unpaid hours, and to be nothing more than a statistic making machine. Stop assuming that saying "we're changing the world" will somehow refute how staff are treated and what is expected of them. Every person i knew from the company that has quit due to mental abuse, has been a much happier person working elsewhere. Avoid at all costs.

Pros

There are no pros here

Cons

If you are on work visa be prepared to get laid off anytime as they don't have a plan in place. Worst work culture. It is tough to work here becasue there is no direction and sometimes don't even know who my manager is as they keep on changing. Strict 'NO' for this company.
