Tesla

This is for hourly employees.

• Good benefits: Health, Vision, Dental. Deduction: $45 Individual, $90 with others.
• Bonus contains choices up to $5,500 for excellent performance every 6 months. You can decide the choice with Cash, RSU, or Stock Options.
• AWS Schedule helps your work/life balance. Otherwise, a regular schedule may have mandatory every-other Saturdays.
• 90%+ are friendly employees (but can be fake, watch yourself). You can't expect everyone to be nice.
• Always take initiative to learn to improve your opportunities for career growth.
• Volunteering overtime is a plus to earn good money.
• Level ups to 5 levels. Level 5 is hard to achieve. May need 6+ years, I think.
• Days can go by fast if you are working in a fast-paced environment.

• Long hours, up to 10-12 in regular schedules (not AWS).
• Fake employees will do anything to take away your chance for level-ups and promotion.
• Fake people. Most will be affected by this curse in order to protect their reputation and move forward in the future within Tesla.
• Many politics and employee level stacking. Once you're level 3, I advise you to apply for another title.
• In most areas, only one person may take PTO leave to greatly not impact numbers. (My team are Pilots at the moment and perhaps soon will be affected.)
• Accrued up to 15 PTO per calendar year. Recently, Tesla added FLT days, not sure of the amount of FLT accrued per year. PTO is combined with sick leave. It's not much, but not too bad.
• The attendance point system is strict. Pass over 4.5 points, and you'll be terminated. This was enforced due to many employees calling in on the last day of the week.

Favoritism. Treat everyone equally.
