Tesla Reviews

Cons

The only con I can perceive is that Tesla is a high stress, high pace environment. People here work really hard and get things done. I wouldn’t say it is for everyone, but for a lot of people they would fit right in and feel at home.

Cons

The most interesting jobs are in The Netherlands and the US

Cons

Enjoyed my first year but not after a change of hands at management level. Amateur, immature (most managers are under 30) biased, cliquey, if you’re not in the clique you will struggle to be promoted/acknowledged even if you are a high performer or if you are promoted put under immense levels of stress and pressure even though your peers who are underperforming seemingly go unscathed because they’re friends with regional. Your own managers often have less skill/relevant experience than those at lower levels. Lots of back hand tactics and things being conveniently dismissed by “HR”. Ridiculous expectations and working hours/situations. You sign a waiver in your contract to limiting your working hours...... you’ve been warned

Cons

A majority of management tend to be unprofessional and will not take on clients directly. If they make a mistake you will end up taking the heat from the client.

Cons

- Amateur and unprofessional management across the board
- Progression is dependent on brown nosing said amateur managers - if you don't go for beers with them outside of work forget a promotion!
- Workplace politics day in and day out - the company UK wide is a rumour mill and more often than not originates back to "senior" regional managers and above - doesn't set a good example
- Zero work life balance and you are treated like dirt if you do not say yes to everything eg unpaid overtime and driving all over the UK to cover inadequate staffing in stores hours away from where you live
- Working above your paygrade constantly with no recognition unless you're mates with management on a personal level
- Blatant favouritism - people with less experience and skill than you WILL be promoted over you for illegitimate reasons
- HR are heavily biased towards senior/regional management due to personal relationships so even if you are brave enough to express your feelings prepare to find yourself in an uncomfortable meeting questioning your performance shortly after - for the large part management do not encourage honesty unless it looks good on them

Cons

The company is so bureaucratic

Cons

Be prepared to work the hours + and don't drive 1mph over the speed limit

Cons

Overtime work all the time. Managers getting the recognition for your team's success.

Cons

Prepare to literally work yourself to death if you ever become a manager. It’s relentless, with huge amounts of pressure with senior managers telling you what you should and shouldn’t do, without ever getting their hands dirty. No one senior with influence ever steps in to apologise for the condition of the product, so the local staff get it in the neck. Moved completely away from a company that does whatever it can to provide excellence to customer to delivering numbers and getting the share price up. The new thread of senior managers, bar one or two, are here on a power trip, not because they are passionate about the brand. And it shows, no one cares about the car, the craftsmanship, the quality - but any mistake will result in being told how much better you could be. It’s a case of showcasing themselves because they can say they were ‘strong’ with someone. People generally last 2 years before they jump because you really do have to put Tesla first if you are a manager.

Cons

30 minutes for lunch
No flexibility
No training
Horrible staff
