Pros

Meeting some nice people, snacks and being able to charge your car while at work. Becareful of who you trust here, there are some people that will stab you in the chest to get ahead! Or at least think they're getting ahead!

Cons

If you want a miserable, soul crushing job, that's just a job, this is it! If you're on day shift, be ready to start at 5:25am and be forced to work a 8-12 hour day! Do you know when you'll go home at any specific time, no. You won't find out until your quota is met! There is no work life balance here, whatsoever! Whether you have experience or not, it doesn't matter here. They just throw you in and hope for the best! Tesla hires anybody, so if you're a convicted felon, rapist or whatever you're welcome here. There's a lot of favoritism here, so if you're good at kissing butt than this place is for you. If you have no options left in life and you're desperate for a job, come here. This is a type of job that is just that, a job. Nothing else. This isn't a career. This is a place where hopes and dreams go to die. A lot of work needs to be done here to improve the quality of life. Uppermanagement sucks, they throw you a bunch of bs and tell you that they're working on work life balance but that's all smoke and mirror's. When I mean uppermanagement, I'm talking about above the leads and supervisors.

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.
