Tesla reviews

- Constant, borderline retaliation-level threatening to confine people to work in-office for no valid reason. - Censorship of those who speak up, some have been fired or just have their messages deleted. - Culture of burnout and quitting, Tesla prefers to exhaust it's employees to the maximum every day, forcing many to leave. This is preferred compared to firing employees since Tesla can avoid paying unemployment. - "Learning opportunities" aka "do more work, but no pay raise or title"

First and foremost, let's start with hiring. The hiring process is a joke. You do over the computer interviews and you have to do an assessment before being hired. The assessment is nothing like what you'd be doing once you actually get onto the floor. They make it look easy, when in all actual - every work flow is different and doesn't even touch the surface of what you were told to do for the hiring assessment. Okay, now let's talk about once you're hired and your first few days. You go in on the first day and you do paperwork, the usual. They go over their pay, pto, rules and regulations yada yada yada - honestly whatever, it's a joke and I'll get to that in a second. But, you get picked for a workflow. Depending on what flow you're in, you only get a certain amount of time to learn it, and even when you learn it - you don't really know it. Their training lacks big time, and they don't have the proper training skills to teach a bunch of people things, especially when people do learn differently from everyone else. There is no accommodation to there. Here's a powerpoint, be expected to know it in 5 days - and best believe you need to have a 100% FQA rate to even feel like you're learning. They make it impossible and the QA'ers (some of them) pick and chose what they want to score you on - it's not consistent. Your workflow can change at any time - and just when you become comfortable in one place - you have to start all over. They give you no notice that this is going to be happening, it's kind of just do it and if you don't like it, oh well. The job is only hard because management makes it hard with their lack of training. Even that, my biggest issue with the company overall is HR and management. They don't know what they're talking about half the time, and god forbid you professionally try and confront them on things, it's game over you put a target on your back. They don't follow procedures and policies from the handbook, especially when it comes to pto. You are told you get ___ amount of pto hours, ____ amount of sick time, and when you get there, all of a sudden the hours are less from what they told you. The time you accrue should be able to be used when you want within enough notices time, and the company does not honor that either. They pick and chose when they want to allow people to use their time. Oh, don't have a death in your family - or god forbid your parent is put on life support. They don't care. They take all of your sick time - and if you don't have much it's well we have to write you up for this. There is no remorse for difficult times. But yet the company expects you to show up and give 100%? Yeah okay. Advancement. They talk about it on your first day. Oh if you show that you wanna move up and you wanna go to lead or supervisor this is how you do it. Unfortunately, if you don't turn into one of their robots, you don't get to move up. Again, you put a target on your back if you even try to defend yourself. You speak up, stick up for yourself, and management shoots it down every chance they get. They don't listen to you. You will go unheard of at this company. You won't be taken seriously. Your feelings and opinions won't matter. HR is a joke too, they don't care about anything except getting paid. They don't like you reaching out to them to ask "HR questions", instead, they tell you to follow up with management who ultimately doesn't have any answers for you. Do yourself a favor and just don't. Find a different company. You will be just a number here. A number with no support. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANTS THAT?
