Pros

Pay is pretty decent.

Shift schedule 3 on, 4 off, 4 on, 3 off is pretty nice.

Cons

Dealing with production management and associates.

Production is very disrespectful and unhelpful when it comes to quality. The expectation is that quality and production work together, but that is very untrue. Production seems unwilling to help quality in every situation and does not inform quality when a quality situation arises.

Favoritism exists within all departments. Some associates are allowed to take 30-minute breaks and hour-long lunches, while others sometimes only get their lunch. Supervisors and managers do not enforce HR policies, safety policies, and workmanship policies.

Lake Tesla - The parking lot doesn't have drainage. When it snows and rains, the parking lot becomes flooded.

Time off policy - You can only take a day off if you have PTO, and there is no unpaid time off. This means if you're sick and have no PTO, you're forced to come into work sick. This is terrible business practice and shows the company doesn't care about employees. There should be PTO and unpaid time off. A good company will give you PTO and up to 40 hours of unpaid time off to cover times when you're sick and have no PTO.

Road Condition - The road conditions are terrible here: poor lighting, huge potholes, and poor road striping.

Overall: Find a better and more enjoyable place to work. Not one where you will be disrespected by management and associates for just doing your job. Right now are bad times at Tesla. Nobody seems to enjoy working here anymore and are only here for the medical benefits. I can't really recommend somebody to apply to work here.

Advice to Management
