Pros

The name Tesla on a resume Benefits are pretty good

Cons

Toxic workplace environment Management searches for ways to not pay employees such as changing metrics to ensure lower employee scores Very incompetent management that includes underpaid and under qualified candidates that cannot write properly Nepotism and being white are the only ways to get promoted in this department Diversity and inclusion is advertised but there has not been a minority promotion hire in the department since last year No windows in workspace and desks are not even a foot apart. 2 weeks notice is required to call off for vacation time and even then it is not guaranteed

Pros

Enjoyable job- fun shop environment

Cons

Absolute lack of care for employees. Working mandatory overtime, often 10+ Hour shifts 6 days a week, double pay on holidays, but mandatory holiday work as well. Basically 0 chance to have a healthy work life balance

Pros

-Amazing benefits/discounts/stock offers - Steady hours and the condensed work week is great - very hard to get fired (also a massive con) - No hassle over taking PTO or Sick time (see con for the downside)

Cons

- Terrible trainers/leads who only give the company line and check the boxes to say they "trained" someone - $1 level 2 pay raises are dangled in front of your face like some coveted prize to earn like your a pig on a string - nobody is fired regardless of work ethic or sobriety even. Takes weeks and weeks of days missed for someone to finally be looked at to be let go - With rare exceptions all the leads and supervisors have an air of arrogance to them like they are Elon and are self serving people looking for their next $2 pay bump - PTO and sick time accrual is terrible with people needing to go on unpaid leave just to recover from flu's or stomach bugs then hassled to be cleared again
