Pros

Very nice facilities at the Detroit HQ. Great cafeteria. Lots and lots of office space and meeting rooms. People are mostly nice.

Cons

As is the case at seemingly every American automotive company, many of the executives and senior managers rule with shame and humiliation. With AAM being a family-owned company it doesn't leave a lot of room for accountability for those in the bloodline. I've heard the CEO say things in a company wide town hall that would have gotten a lesser individual (within the company), if not fired, some time off. But as it were, all he had to do was a hush hush private apology to one team, even though the offense was global. I only know about the apology because of my relationship with a member of that team.
