      It’s fine.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are pretty good, and the PTO is plentiful.

      Cons

      There is a morale issue, largely due to scheduling issues, inconsistent policy adherence/enforcement as well as the absence of any opportunity of advancement. There is no possibility of promotion, and pay increases do not start until after more than 5 years of service.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule and excellent work/home balance. Reasonable compensation for workload. Enough extra time for professional development, if desired, as self-study. Low employee turnover rates make for a long-term family atmosphere.

      Cons

      The need for perceived consensus slows nearly every process down. Over time, the amount of acceptable output per employee drops well below where expectations would be at other places of employment. Culture is a mix of hardcore cynicism and those trying to promote positivism, but cynics often poison the atmosphere. Most attempts to enact change are met with a "good luck with that" attitude from employees. UAW perpetuates adversarial relationship between employees and management.
