      Do not choose a automotive supplier as a career if you care about people.

      Pros

      Most people are a pleasure to work with. Some are to be avoided. While many people have been with the company for a long time, it depends if you were part of a prior takeover or are an original Cooper employee..

      Cons

      Auto suppliers live and die on the demands and requirements of their customers. Economic times are very tough right now in 2008 and any loyalty to employees is forgotten. Everyone is on edge.

      Okay Overall - Leadership is questionable

      Quality manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Corporate provides lots of leeway in how to produce results. There is minimal standardization throughout the organization. Lots of oversight in the form demands but not a lot of solutions being produced from the corporate group.

      Cons

      No merit increase, reducing competitiveness among other industry peers. Some directors are toxic and really only know how to manage up but strictly demand from their direct and indirect reports leading to a lack of empowerment and excessive micromanagement. Some directors target specific managers. Program managers will create lists of 80 improvement actions and act as though the world is falling and hold multiple meetings with complete lack of awareness of how to actually produce change and improvement.

      Awful place to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I would say health insurance but even that doesn't cover much if anything anymore and the price just keeps going up.

      Cons

      No sick time or sick pay and you will be written up or fired if you miss more than 5 days a YEAR. Overtime is not just mandatory but is often forced last minute. You could be getting ready to punch out and be told you have to stay because someone called in. Overbearing workload.
