Tesla reviews

- The glamour of working at Tesla wears off quickly. Don't be naive about working for such a volatile company, it might not be what you expect. - Very little compensation for working hard and exceeding targets. Approx. $35 if you sell a $200,000 car. Salary was about $52,000 per year. So it's okay but there's also an expectation that you'll work outside of hours. I saw some employee's working 80+ hour weeks. - Very little progression. New positions often given to new hires vs people who have been there for years and proved themselves - Extremely high employee turnover. Low income + high expectations + poor management meant people quickly became dissatisfied and unhappy. In addition, company restructures and cost cutting meant collections of people were being fired every 6 months. - Managers and HR very inexperienced which leads to frustrated teams, a lack of employee support and toxic work environments. - Often felt like a popularity contest. Poorly performing employee's often promoted because they were likeable and "funny". - Cold calling and cold selling was a huge part of the role. If you don't like cold calling people, I would advise you reconsider being a product specialist or owner advisor.

- Incompetent management who do not have the managerial or product knowledge of their own staff - Low pay, with no opportunity of commission or bonuses or car allowance or company car - Unrealistic expectations and nothing you do for them is good enough - Long hours without compensation, an expectation put on you for “the love of Tesla” Management put Tesla on a pedestal and feed you nonsense and fear based leadership to make you believe you are replaceable because everyone wants to work for Tesla. Favourites are promoted over people who work hard or are good at their job, clearly because current management feel threatened that others could do their job better than them. Tesla need to look after their staff, happy customers and good statistics will follow. No one likes being treated like a slave, expected to work unpaid hours, and to be nothing more than a statistic making machine. Stop assuming that saying "we're changing the world" will somehow refute how staff are treated and what is expected of them. Every person i knew from the company that has quit due to mental abuse, has been a much happier person working elsewhere. Avoid at all costs.
