Pros

Environmentally friendly company with benefits!

Cons

Can't apply internally until after a year and then after that you will get denied since your "needed" in your current role. Workers are expendable. This company would rather pay two people very little that mess inventory or products up, than pay one person slightly more that corrects or fixes problems. Safety hazards are abundant and little or no corrective action is taken. The commute sucks.

Pros

The mission of this company is amazing, unfortunately they prey upon people with the same mindset and exploit their efforts.

Cons

Absolutely do not care about employee morale and well being. Employees are reduced to a statistic, where morale does not matter. Most work out of fear of losing job, not because they are valued.

Pros

Working for Tesla is a glorified experience as the company carries a prestige name that many want to be a part of. Tesla products are so superb, it was very easy to sell. Many people in the company work for the mission and have a lot of passion. Work culture is amazing.

Cons

The company definitely has growing pains. They don't their sales people well ($17 an hour in Texas), they have so many changes (i.e. training, compensation, end of quarter decisions that affect consumers) they are not worth it and at times unethical.
