Pros

Is a great opportunity for anyone looking to get into the auto manufacturing business.

Cons

Pay for hourly associates is decent but 17-19 an hour is really not enough to live in the bay area. Management is young and its a start up. You see a lot of favouritism when hiring in new management positions rather than skill base.
