Pros

Good insurance benefits, opportunity to learn a trade, free soft drinks and cereal

Cons

12 hour shifts 4 to 5 days a week. Only one 30 minute break. On your feet all day . Pay is horrible and there’s no increase or bonus if your qualified to do more, so in other words, the new hire or other employees that do easy task, the employee doing hard and dangerous task get paid the same, like moving 30ton dies with a crane in tight areas. Unfair pay. I’ve only been here for 4 months and I’m already looking for a new job. No work life balance. Lots of politics to move up.

Pros

Great culture before layoffs. Ability to move up

Cons

Massive layoffs with terrible severance packages. Loyal employees were promised help from HR to help with job searching, no help was ever given. Some employees had worked for SolarCity/ Tesla for 5+ years and left hanging out to dry.

Pros

competitive pay, a ton of hours. if you need to pay off some debt, towards the end of each quarter tesla pushes hard to produce cars, so constant 12 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. you feel important working for such a cool company. It is hard work and i enjoyed it, but its not for everyone.

Cons

No 401k, minimum vacation, vacation requests denied often, hard on your body, too many hours at the end of the quarter, not enough hours when the quarter is over. (constantly switching from 8 hour days to 12 hour days, find out only a couple days in advance if your working saturday)
