Pros of working at Tesla

Successful company

Cons of working at Tesla

Terrible management / employee to management structure

Tesla benefits

-

What do you like best about Tesla's CEO and the leadership team?

Elon musk is a good guy. I just wish he saw how some of the new employees are treated in the solar warehouse east coast branches are treated. They work you like a horse and treat you terribly. I worked extremely hard for them even inured my back and let me go but kept the other guy that got hired at the same time as me after 6 months. Seems like there plan the whole time was to let one of us go. And use the other for half a year without telling us it’s a contract position. Pretty unethical and deceitful if you ask me.

How would you improve Tesla's culture?

Improve management get better managers in there. Lots of managerial self importance and power greed that I notice that goes on .

How did you prepare for the Tesla interview?

Research.

How does your compensation at Tesla compare to the industry average?

Average to below average I would say.

What brings you the most joy at Tesla?

Literally nothing if you work in the solar warehouse position in Wilmington mass for Tesla. You will absolutely hate it. There is no Joy in this position you can’t even feel independent, the branch manager (s) breath down your back like crazy they give you absolutely zero room to feel comfortable. It is horrible, can’t even leave for a minute to get a snack they won’t even let you use the break room unless it’s lunch time once a day. And that’s even if we’re all caught up with everything.

What's the diversity at Tesla like?

It’s alright.

Pros of working at Tesla

They have good benefits.

Cons of working at Tesla

A numbers focused environment with a high turnover. Lots of pressure on associate level employees to take on the labor of multiple people to make up for shortage, even if it puts their health at risk. Management doesn’t take proactive steps to improve the human experience and blames employees.

Tesla benefits

Health insurance. It’s needed as there is a high rate of stress injuries.
