Tesla reviews

Leadership is often put into place due more to tenure than relevant experience. The revenue generating side of the business is King and is responsible for making decisions for all sides of the company, whether it is within their lane or not. Talent acquisition, specifically, plays the role of a support to the business, rather than as a partner, and leadership would punish employees for operating differently. Pay is well below market (and explained away by people saying, "It's Tesla, you should want to work here"). Work life balance is non existent as many recruiters are working upwards of dozens and dozens of open roles at a given time and their productivity is graded similarly to a sales organization, rather than as the strategic initiative that it should be considered. The recruiting teams operate within severe dysfunction (and attempt to paint it as "ever changing") with very little quality leadership to guide or impact real, helpful change.

- Low wage - Can be sent to work at any other location if needed - Have to meet unrealistic sales quotas. They don’t want to call them quotas and they tell you that “we aren’t salesman” but that’s only because they tried to alter the definitions of the word and role. There are definitely quotas and you are most definitely a car salesman. - You are expected to go through over 50 emails per day and follow up with customers in every phase of their purchase all the way into post delivery. - highly unorganized organization - hours are long, half hour breaks, and rarely do you ever go home on time - you will work weekends so say goodbye to your social life. Instead they’ll give you some terrible midweek days off. -End of the quarter they don’t even want you taking vacations because the work load gets even more extreme. - you would think an organization like Tesla would be more organized but it’s not. They give you 4 different apps to use that are still very much in beta testing phases and expect you to know how to use them inside out very quickly. - the trainings are nonsense and don’t teach you anything - constantly feel like you have to meet targets or else your job is on the chopping block - cult like organization. - I feel unethical about even selling cars in an organization like this because of what I know is going on behind the scenes.
