Pros

I really wish I had something positive to say here. There are some really great people working here but they are not in management.

Cons

- This organization is riddled with nepotism. Directors and Upper management have their wives, daughters, and brothers working there. - The upper managers / directors / HR are disconnected from what is actually going on at the lower levels. - There is a lot a of double standards pertaining to rules and policies going on here. Management has a very different play book than the lower levels. The management will also extend their play book to some of their friends (moles) as well. - There is no career path here for you and the only room for growth is when someone is terminated or moves on. Most people just leave to advance their career. Be very cautious of management and their dangling carrots. Their promises only come true a very very small portion of the time. - Raises here are poor and always based on a percentage of your salary so make sure you get as much money going in as possible. They will low ball you when they hire. A huge raise for a promotion is around 10%. A yearly raise is in the range of 2%-4%. The managers do force rank their employees which affects your raises. - The directors / upper management / HR are very reactive people. They are not proactive. - There really is an issue with planning here. Everything is on fire and late.

Pros

Pay is about middle of the pack. Best perk is the 401k.

Cons

Nepotism. Never given appropriate information to do your job. Leaders who manipulate, back stab. Some are hired just to fill racial quotas but are dumbing down the employee base. Zero morale and unconcerned management who could care less. Management depends too much on input from supervisors, 1st line managers and leaders, they never ask the troops! They are to affraid to deal with negative feedback about management (individuals). HR policies are open ended and managers/supers are allowed to interpret as they see fit. Much bias is used due to that and favoritism rules, especially if you are family/friend of leader/manager/supervisor/vp. Employees who try to advance themselves are plotted against. "Old guard" employees who do more harm than good are looked at by management as heros even though they are cause of problems. No real team work, even though they toss the term around. Women who are non management are not paid fairly. You can never do a good job the first time because of information flow and management always trying to beat delivery dates, starting programs too soon and not having any leverage what so ever with customer base. Any attempts to try to provide input to make your job or work easier or any attempt to try to grow above others is met with intolerance and belittlement. Overtime and work distribution have double standards within the groups. Some are worked like dogs while others are allowed to skate (surf all day).

Nepotism to the max

Pros

They train you to use some good automotive software.

Cons

If you're in the "good old boys club" - if you are a family member or close friend of a manager - then you are all set. The family members of managers barely even work, and everyone else has to pick up the slack. Nepotism will destroy this company. They like to lay off older employees who have higher wages, then hire a bunch of young people who will work for $12-$14/hr. No loyalty. I hear they don't even give a severance package to laid off employees. They also do not diversify their business and rely almost 100% on Ford, who keeps shipping jobs to India and other lower wage countries.
