Tesla reviews

Long hours, Stressful, fast deadlines, can be cut throat, poor work life balance, did i mention stressful?, a lot of people are not from the automotive industry make novice mistakes, pay seems to be below industry standard, No longer has the start up feeling.

Feels like a big startup that does not support its sales team with any marketing. They actually require you to solely think up marketing/promotion ideas and then pass it on to a marketing person (one per entire region) so they can then say yes or no. You might get some support setting up and executing an event only if they approve of it but no money can be spent for these ideas, so this only can go so far. Local store (manager) sales goals are not related to the individual owner advisor sales goals at all. Manager can hit bonus level much quicker while individual OAs will get in trouble for not hitting a much higher individual number. Regardless of region, state, or store level traffic, the individual OA is held accountable for the same sales number across the country, this doesn't make any since as not all regions, states, city's have the same traffic and interest. Zero path or internal support for career growth. Have been hearing about how they are working on that for over 2 years now but still nothing no internal career portal as of this writing. Regional level management sees you as a number and you will not be recognized as a person unless you are knocking your numbers out of the park, "what have you done for me lately?" mentality. If you are a puppet and enjoy being at someones beck and call then your looking for the right place. Zero advertising and majority of the public still thinks buying the vehicles is illegal in most states, so you normally start the sales process from that step. Requires a TON of educating before you can actually move to the sales/closing process. What work life balance? Not asked but expected to work 6/7 days a week, there are no 9-5 positions here so don't waste your time. Given a phone and laptop, enough said! You will be expected to bleed for this company and only if your a top performer will you exist in managements eyes. Very young managers that have a shelf life of approx 9 months tenure before they leave the company or transfer to another role. Constantly changing strategy's that usually will overlap with what has already be accomplished or tried in the past. High paying fun jobs are only in Palo Alto or Fremont, CA. Any other state is considered a remote or field office that is treated as a node with little support. If you start in sales your only considered a sales person and will not be looked at for transferring to another department unless you can move mountains.
