Great Company Vision. Horrible Management and Pay.

Pros

Co-workers are nice. Elon is a good CEO. The vision of the company for a sustainable world is nice. Benefits are great.

Cons

The work that you are required to do far exceeds the pay you are given. Software is consistently broken. The blame for any issue is placed on the rep. Factory-like work for a desk job. There seems to be little care for trying to improve things. A lot of favoritism. Moving up in the company is near impossible.

Pros

People love this company. Excellent benefits that take effect immediately. Awesome products that continually improve and you get to drive the cars from time to time.

Cons

Management has a passive-aggressive nature and most shouldn't be in the roles that they're in. You are encouraged at your time of hire to share ideas for the benefit of the company. Your ideas are never taken into consideration. District level visits last 5-10 minutes and no time to talk to you, only management, so your side of the story is never heard. If upper management does talk to you, it feels like they are talking down to you. Polices, pay, job titles and responsibilities are changing all of the time. I guess this is what comes from a growing company. The probability of really moving up in this company outside of sales are slim to none if you start in sales. My location was inside of Nordstrom. Myself and my coworkers left solid jobs to come here for all the promises of long term career opportunities in the company. Our location lasted less than 6 months and we're all laid off. I feel like it was part of a failed experiment, and we're paying the price for it.
