Pros

The Seneca plant has comparable pay for the area and adequate overall benefits. The location has a good local reputation and can be a good neighbor to the community.

Cons

The current condition of the Seneca location is at best sad. The site is simply lacking. Seneca is lacking enough parking spaces, enough bathrooms, enough break areas and so on. The crowded and cluttered nature of the shop floor is down right dangerous. The passive nature of the leadership is disconcerting. The condition and age of much of the manufacturing equipment and instruments is shameful.

Pros

I was given the autonomy and responsibility to initiate and manage my own projects. I was also trusted with systems and projects that were important to current business.

Cons

I sometimes had difficultly getting direction when I was unsure how to proceed in certain situations. Though I really enjoyed the work environment, there were many people who were over-worked and were afforded too few vacations.

Pros

-Good management bonus structure-more forgiving of short-term (1/2 year) misses than many comparable programs -Variety of business lines with different cultures. If one is not a good fit, another may be.

Cons

-Often, playing politics and dancing around issues is rewarded with promotion, instead of making the tough decisions ("yes-men") -Usual up-and-down of the automotive industry, with sometimes excessive focus on the short-term.
