Site Superintendent | Fresno, CA | Feb 18, 2020
Great place
Great culture, amazing benefits, great people, safety first, amazing products and people to with and along. I worked there for 8 years and want to go back.
Production Assembler | Energy, IL | Oct 8, 2019
hard labor with difficulties
I discovered that they promote leads and supers based on their ability to spy backstab and brown-nose their way up.
I kept moving on the same level because of the changeability of the company and upper-level staff leaving or changing positions.
Although the benefits are great the work we do and the stress we go through is very hard on body and mind. They keep pushing people to go beyond the safe work levels and beyond medical restrictions.
Proscoffee tea and cereal free in break room.

Decent Job
Good learning experience, met a lot of great and passionate people. They tend to dispose of you as soon as they don't need you anymore because they are still a company looking to cut costs at every corner.
Operations Associate | Fremont, CA | Jan 10, 2020
Nice while it lasted
I worked at Dumbarton Circle right before they closed down the campus. Place was nice, loved the cafeteria. Good coffee and loved the fruit infused water. And they had a cafe & breakfast bar.
Sales Advisor | Tampa, FL | Oct 1, 2019
Don't work here
They work you 60+ hours yet never any raises or never moving up. And they under pay like no tomorrow. They move any one up that they feel like is a friend or a teacher's pet.
ProsHealth care

Event Coordinator | Woodland Hills, CA | Sep 4, 2018
Incredibly positive!
The mission is embedded into every coworkers/management team. The company has weekly meetings to create a more proactive team and mindset, everyone is very open to new ideas and the ability to move up is solely on you. Met people who were promoted quickly because of dedication and ideas while others there for just money. Great company, great benefits, great mission.
ProsWonderful work environment, pay, and coworkers. Very positive overall.
ConsYou’ll call find yourself overworking.
Senior Manufacturing Engineer | Fremont, CA | Apr 17, 2018
A challenging place which grows your skill to get things done
Tesla is an OK place to work. Good part is they make each person responsible which grooms one to prove his/her talent and skills. Bad part is there is no work/life balance and management does not have a certain direction, Decisions keep changing from top management on daily basis,
Customer Service Representative | Tampa, FL | Nov 18, 2019
Relaxing atmosphere
Great job. The culture was nice. The managers were young and very involved. Communication was great. The atmosphere was very relaxing and there was no micromanaging.

Good place to work and Tesla always focused on safety.
Learned a lot while working at Tesla. Everyone strived for the same goal which made for a good environment to work in. Almost everyday was a new learning experience that kept me on my toes.

Hold meetings; Talk with your teams more about what is actually happening and why; Give guidance when needed; Communicate clearly with all; Send an email to all at a location when new people start, leave or have a new position; Tell staff when visitors are present and why; allow all interested to attend scheduled meetings to learn more, collaborate, brainstorm and build relationships; Communicate clearly, openly, honestly and all over to ensure employees are aware of current status, expectations, future vision; Celebrate and communicate positive things when they occur; Provide valid feedback; Have peer reviews and reviews from subordinate employees for managerial positions to truly learn which ones are successful and those that are not

How are the working hours at Tesla?
Asked Jul 14, 2016
FYI, I do not work for Tesla at this time but, if you’re looking to get into the automotive industry you will make a great living. You will work more hours but, for those with a good work ethic in most cases I believe you will get more than you put in.
