Pros

The only pro to working at American Axle & Manufacturing is they pay pretty good for those who have college degrees or in the process of getting a degree.

Cons

You are surrounded by a ton of non-educated individuals. All supervisors either have no education or have a bachelor's degree from the University of Phoenix, which is a joke. Also, everyone micro-manages like crazy and people consistently throw each other under the bus to get a head. Essentially, it seems like no one truly knows how to do their job correctly, constantly taking short cuts. The employee turnover rate while I was there was incredible. Also, people are put into roles that they cannot handle. If you have a HR degree, you'll probably end up in Materials. Senior management doesn't know how to play to employees strengths which makes the Three Rivers plant struggle constantly with meeting demand and doing anything that is efficient or effective.

Team and manager is super knowledgeable. Everyone shows up and gets their work done. They do have employee resource groups that do a lot of events. Benefits are alright compared to others. Flexible with appointments and stuff like that.

Cons

Only one day wfh. Location and commute isn’t great.
