Pros

The pay and co workers

Cons

Strict , strict attendance . No reason excepted . Plan on leaving your house an hour early . Take 10 minutes to walk-in the building and another 10 to get to your area. 10 minutes breaks leaves you with 4 minutes to sit down outside unless you sit on the assembly line. Huge turnover . I haven’t found a person who hasn’t worked there. The is a hair sample drug test , a time assembly test , and a question test about your experiences and how you’d handle events . Then 2 weeks in a classroom that you literally think you have landed the best job in America because the lady is wonderful , smiling and has a great personality . These 2 weeks are the only best things about that place. Within 3 months their was 2 of us left out of 30 of us and then I quit. Everything is kept in-house . Fire department , doctors etc so the public doesn’t know what truly happens . Don’t stop the line even for a heart attack and that is the truth. Just move to the side and sit on a crate . Wrong parts place on the car - don’t stop the line , just add the cars to the enormous staging parking lot of thousands and thousands of “ reworks “ . Depending on the assembly line you might luck out on not dying all the way. I Would never recommend the assembly line for anyone over 30 and even at 20 I’d recommend going somewhere else to find a career that you know you’ll be at for years .

Pros

Flexible schedule is available and fun to be around nice cars.

Cons

Horrible company to work for. Nobody is ever on the same page with regards to how your work is going. One manager can say you are good and the other manger can say another. There its a constant flow of new people coming so you never can get properly trained. When you ask questions to supervisor she would not know the answer. If you asked the service manager he made it seem like you are bothering him. The supervisor will say one thing to you and communicate the opposite to her boss. The service manager was the complete opposite of how a manger should be. He constantly made you feel like you were walking on egg shells or bothering him with questions.He would walk in and only acknowledge certain people instead of others and never seemed to smile.
