      Great mission - Lousy culture

      Sales manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -I believe in the big picture company mission, and it's exciting to know that we're improving our planet. -Working for a company that's constantly innovating is exciting. -We are constantly changing and adapting to stay out in front.

      Cons

      -Senior leaders manage by fear, and you're constantly put on edge over results. -Employee development does not exist. It's all about sales, sales, sales. -Promotions are not usually posted so that everyone can see the openings and post for them. People are picked based on popularity. -Age discrimination and sexism absolutely exists.

      Why are people so unhappy here?

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -People here are very motivated because of company motto/goals -Great/nice/friendly people -Not too much office politics -Lots of gowth opportunities

      Cons

      -Everyone seems to hate their job, so company atmosphere of negatively is prevalent throughout all departments (if so, why aren't people leaving? I'm assuming it's because of growth opportunities and the company mission). -Senior Management is newer than most of the employees, so they make really stupid decisions. -Don't treat employees well (taking away a lot of benefits, etc.) -Lack of communication and agreement between departments

      Know what you are getting into

      Pros

      You get to work on one of the coolest cars currently being built, and there are endless opportunities to push the boundaries in areas that interest you. Most everyone gets excited to talk about your job when they find out you work for Tesla (and lets face it, who doesn't like to geek out on your work?) You are surrounded by brilliant and passionate people, though most bounce back and forth between loving and hating the place.

      Cons

      There is no work-life balance whatsoever, management changes course of action like a 2 year old surrounded by candy, toys, and bright lights. You will be seriously underpaid no matter what you do.
