      Good Company Mission, Lack of care for staff

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Location Sustainable energy centric Brand reputation (even if undeserved when considering how staff are actually treated if we are honest to customers when they comment how great it must be to work for such a big brand.)

      Cons

      Pressures staff to work for free at times and claims it is allowed under contract. Numerous management issues and occasional verbal abuse if not hitting unrealistic targets, including those that involve working on time off to avoid consequences from management.

      Pros

      Wage is good and coworkers are all very nice and welcoming/ willing to assist in learning the ins and outs of the job

      Cons

      Management is lacking organization and doesn't communicate well at all. You never know how long your shift will be on any given day (can range from 8-12 hours), and this is due to equipment failing/defects in cars. Although these problems are understandable, workers are always left in the dark on issues, and end up working aimlessly for hours, and end up having to work 10-11 hour days without even being told that the shift will run long.

      High Energy & Challenging

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Tesla is a fast driving place to work. In order to succeed here you need to have a high amount of energy, a tolerance for working long hours (including occasional weekends depending on the role), and be willing to accept new challenges without much guidance. Processes are not well documented and so you will often be faced with situations with no clear direction for resolution, you must adapt and learn to persevere. Telsa is a team-oriented company, but maintains a high focus on individual contribution. Successful employees can demonstrate consistent clear thinking, energy, enthusiasm, and overall scrappy-ness.

      Cons

      If you aren't ready to commit the time & energy required you may find yourself in a stressful work environment with more to do than there are hours in the day. Documentation for processes often doesn't exist so you will need to learn to persevere and collaborate with your team to drive success.
