Don't drink the kool-aid

Pros

The pros...hmmm, let's see: good benefits, it's nice to have 3 days off one week and 4 days on the next (but you work 12 hr shifts to get that), most coworkers are great and they have a relaxed dress code. Overtime is available if you want it.

Cons

I had high hopes for Tesla but it was such a let down. Easily one of the worst jobs I've ever had. Extremely unorganized environment. Nearly impossible to get anything done because every day they change your process. Very little training...they tell you that you have to learn as you go because there's no time to train. That then comes back to bite you in the butt when they want to know why you don't know every part of your job. NO TRAINING! I referred one friend & I'm sorry I did. Also, Tesla said they were bringing high paying jobs to our community...that is simply not true. Starting wage of $14.50 is about half of what they promised when they announced they were coming to Reno. Don't drink the kool-aid....even if it's free.

Pros

Environmentally friendly company with benefits!

Cons

Can't apply internally until after a year and then after that you will get denied since your "needed" in your current role. Workers are expendable. This company would rather pay two people very little that mess inventory or products up, than pay one person slightly more that corrects or fixes problems. Safety hazards are abundant and little or no corrective action is taken. The commute sucks.
