Pros

Fellow Production associates and leads are excellent!

Cons

Management team is the worst I have ever encountered. I worked for Burger King when I was sixteen and thought, I would never see management as bad as they where, again in my career, and I was correct for over 30 years, until I started working for Tesla! Top 10 Total disregard for assembly associates! Total lack of communication! Management guidance non-existent The production line downtime is 4 to 6 hours per shift. no fail-safes to keep the line moving Upper Management is horrible at planning or executing! Massive amounts of overtime, and still can't come close to achieving production goals! Thousands of non-essential employee's that are not necessary! Millions spent on projects that are abandoned! Walking the production floor, its more like a cell block at San Quintin then a electronic car company!
