Toxic Environment. Illegal Employment Practices.
Pros
Um… the food options are okay?
Cons
The most toxic work environment I’ve ever worked in… and I work in HR. No one knows what’s going on. Managers and HR are never on the same page. Don’t believe me? Ask an employee, a manager, and someone in HR the exact same question about a Tesla policy and prepare for confusion. Tesla failed to provide me with a reasonable accommodation for mental health disabilities. Zero work-life balance. I was a salaried employee working 60+ hours a week on a 40 hour a week salary. Compensation and benefits are not competitive. Unless you’re an entry level employee and this is your first job, expect to take a pay cut. They make it seem like security is strict, but onsite security is a joke. Non-employees have been found after weeks of sleeping under stairwells, roaming the factory. Employees physically fight, bring weapons inside the factory, make threats, etc. constantly. It’s an unsafe, unproductive, unsupportive, un-everything employer. When people find out I worked in HR at Tesla, they automatically tell me how sorry they are that I worked in such a toxic environment… and this is before I even tell them about my experience. That’s the reputation Tesla has. I urge you to look elsewhere. For your own safety and wellbeing.
