Pros

Allegedly good salary. Havent been able to corroborate that though. Maybe other locations.

Cons

Management by fear, top is the first to break own rules such as respect for people, no emphasis on own know how, main issue is to cut costs, reflected in product quality later.

Pros

Large size, many tools in the corporate "tool box". Good sharing of knowledge (I.E. Best in class, Read Accross).

Cons

Management always expects 80 hours of work per week. Difficult to balance work and family life. Impossible to complete all tasks in 50 hours per week. Requires working late, working weekends. No positive feedback, only negative.

Pros

Good pay with okay benefits. Overtime was good while there was a demand for the transfer cases and transaxle units was high.

Cons

The environment was not conducive to quality work or safety. Management was hamstrung by the Canadian board over innovations and renovations of the factory. We were killed off by a lack of support from that same board in favor of a few dollars saved by making the product in Mexico. Quality was not the issue and they are throwing a lot of money south of the border to bring quality up down there. We'll see if it ever happens...
