Pros

I love Tesla. It gave me a chance to shine and made me see that I’m good at what I’m doing. A lot of learning opportunities when you take the time to take it. Very supportive team. A lot of respect going on as a whole.

Cons

It all depends on who’s in charge when it comes to promotions. I feel like they incorage more kissing you know what to get promotions than to actually promote a hard worker with a lot of passion. They care about who talks better. “Communication is better than hard work.” Even when the great talker doesnt know anything.
