Pros

Benefits, benefits, benefits. Not much else to brag about with this company but the medical and dental benefits are good. Some benefits such as 401k company match used to be much better but some benefits have decreased in the last few years.

Cons

HR department and management are self absorbed and do not care for their employees. Hard work and accomplishment are not rewarded while favoritism is obvious. Also major differences in pay for doing the same job because of favoritism. Lower and mid-level employees are not appreciated at all while upper management and only a chosen few are given bonuses and perks.

Business Outlook

Pros

A great place for an Automotive engineer to work outside of the Detroit area. There is a very large automotive company backing this division, one of the fve largest in the world. I think it is important to tap into that knowledge base. The work life balence of this company is great. There allow ample time off and a flexible work schedule

Cons

This location has become an outpost of the outpost that is North America to this German owned company. There are also many challenges facing the North American automotive industry.
