Business Outlook

Pros

Money is good starting out Not so Difficult work

Cons

Never guarenteed the weekend so you always have to go with the flow and make plans 1-2 days before the weekend when they post overtime. Depending on the area of the factory you are in, good luck having a home life/free time. Vacation time is 2 weeks with NO increase until 8 years in, their doctor's note policy is a joke. If you have a surgery/recovery for a week with a note, they'll point you initially then every 2 days after you get MORE points.

Pros

Reasonably high level of autonomy in my role under my manager. I am trusted to get work done with relatively little oversight.

Cons

Pay rates are lower than competitors and other automotive suppliers in the region. Not all managers are effective leaders and have struggled to keep people due to micromanagement of their team. Goals for attaining bonus and merit raises are becoming more unreachable considering the current market climate. Nepotism in some departments. Not a very diverse company but this has been improving slowly over the past 1- years. Benefits such a reimbursement for higher education isn't as competitive as similar companies in the region.
