      Pros

      Pay is "good" for the area. Good benefits package.

      Cons

      New hires will undoubtedly work nights and weekends for many years to come. Promotions are not made on merit. Some technicians make significantly more money even though their level of expertise may not warrant such an increase. Causes much discontent.

      Pros

      All possibilities of a big DAX-company

      Cons

      Not many, just that at the moment they are in a time of conversion and unsure future (Continental vs. Schaeffler). We will see what will come. Besides this issue no real downfalls

      Continenal AG (soon to be Schaffler) falling fast with the auto industry

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good healthcare benefits, Good Vacation - 3 weeks of vacation first year, 11 paid holidays, Flex-time, on-site gym, very nice work facilities, professional people. Used to be a good company to work for, but things have changed with all the auto industry problems.

      Cons

      Continental AG (recently purchased by Schaffler) is a German company in the automotive supplier industry, and is strapped with a lot of debt. As an auto supplier business has been crushed. Cutbacks have been severe including: layoffs, 5% mandatory paycut for everyong, 401K match discontinued, forced week/two week shutdowns that have to be taken without pay unless you have enough saved PTO (most non-management don't). These shutdowns/unpaid time off for everyone can easily mean an additional 3%/4% annual paycut, depending on how much you make. The DeerPark branch is formerly Motorola Automotive, and much of management treats employees like Motorola does, which is: take anything management dishes out or risk being laid off.
