Good, engaging RESS work, but poor salary
Good, engaging RESS work, but poor salary
Great coworkers, great culture, great movement upwards in the RESS organization, engaging work, good recognition and visibility in the RESS sphere, and good benefits.
Base salary is not market competitive. I started making 3/4 of 100 grand. I got a 3% raise in 2021. Now incoming Track engineers are making 82-88k. The company does not reward loyalty. It also does not promote people with expertise. Management prefers to pull 30+ year tenure dinosaurs with less than a year of RESS experience over from transmission and engine to lead our RESS org. Meanwhile, people who have 8 YOE in RESS spanning back to the introduction of the Chevy Volt are stuck in middle management. Therefore, the company does not reward intelligence or expertise either.
Reward those who consistently overperform and were hired in with low salaries during COVID. Reward or lose top battery talent to Rivian, Tesla, or Aptera, companies which pay highly for expertise.
