Business Outlook

Pros

Great People! A forward thinking work ethic, and they rarely point fingers at there own. We always concentrate on mending the problem versus finding someone to blame. Very professional environment also.

Cons

None that are big, The only thing would be since its a large company and you work with many people is to make sure when you need info go to the source. Sometimes words can get twisted when its gets passed down through the vine. Easily cleared up once you get together and discuss.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lower management cares about employees and tries to maintain a small company feel. Numerous positions within the organization so you may be able to transfer to another group to try something new.

Cons

Automotive division is in flux with electronics being sold, visors & headliners being sold, and a joint venture happening soon for interiors. Many people are nervous about losing their job or the Holland facility closing. Although this can happen at any company, many people are anxious about not knowing the future of the Holland campus. Numerous levels of upper management with people or structure changing every 1 to 2 years. Company has a "large company" feel.
