Pros

Health Benefits. My co=workers are dependable.

Cons

For the most part everyone working in the Facilities Department is unhappy with management. There is one person who is making it very difficult to enjoy coming to work. People are privately complaining and the human resources department is doing nothing about it. If you are part of the group, then you can manage your employees however you want (including making it a hostile work place).

Pros

Tesla has an extremely fast paced work environment where difficult tasks are given impossible deadlines. Working with great teams and highly motivated colleagues means that you find ways to succeed against the odds. Stress is high, but no one said changing the world was easy.

Cons

Maybe the compensation has become more competitive since I left, but when I worked there the average salaries were 20-30% lower than similar roles at rival companies.
