      Pros

      The only good thing that I can say about this company is that I met some really great people that can definitely do better than working at Tesla as an undervalued and underpaid employee.

      Cons

      Where do I begin ??? The managers have no auto sales/ industry experience. They have bs retail backgrounds working at the GAP, Best Buy, Bose, and Apple. The pay is way below the industry standard. They initially offer you 40k, commission per car, and quarterly bonuses. They’ll change your compensation after working there for a couple of months. The current pay for owners advisors is 15.75/hr + quarterly bonus. Tesla makes is almost impossible for the owner advisor to make his/her bonus because of the insanely high quotas that they set. The managers micromanage to the max. Managers talk about closing sales but can’t even close a door! STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY !!!!

      Pros

      The people that work for this company are some of the best people I've ever known. Everyone is really helpful and friendly.

      Cons

      Most shifts are 10 hours long, and the rate at which you accrue PTO is not fast enough if you get sick within the first few months or need to request time off. There are mandatory shift bids based on your metrics but no way of comparing your metrics to everyone else's. And management is very unhelpful to meet you half way.

      Pros

      One of the coolest companies in the world The mission gets you out of bed in the morning Brand recognition on your resume Get to work with awesome, intelligent people Stock Options

      Cons

      Insanely long hours Super stressful environment Each employee expected to do the work of 2-3 people Go, go, go mentality leads to errors, finger pointing, and unhappy people People with tech backgrounds trying to run a manufacturing and construction operation The sky is falling every day ZERO work life balance Employees are treated as expendable cogs in the wheel Company hides behind mission as excuse for poor work environment
