Pros

401k, profit sharing (that is if you don't get fired before your fully vested, a 6 year anniversary with this company is like waiting for the results of a lab test; your not sure if you'll survive another year), paychecks on time (that this is the most, and sometimes only, pro mentioned speaks volumes about this company)

Cons

Its been so well documented here in all of the posts; management through fear and negativity, micro-management to a degree you could never imagine, sub-par wages with no raises for the folks on the ground making all of your impossible commitments a reality (except it seems for the sales department and of course executive management), no work/life balance (if you even think about working a 40 hour week you will be labeled a "clock watcher" and be dead man/woman walking), mental conditioning to make you believe that you are incompetent/expendable/failure/the list goes on and on, and the belief that all problems can be solved by selling more and using less people (makes it abundantly clear what the executives are bonus-ed on). Another strange facet of this company is assigning blame. It is demonstrated continually, that this is the highest priority. When you make a mistake, you will hear about it several times and from several people. Assigning blame takes precedence over fixing the problem, even if that problem is affecting a customer(s). The previous mention of expecting 60 hours of work out of a 40 hour period is spot on. So is the additional mention of this being pushed on the salaried employees who do not get paid overtime. That poster mentioned the phrase "work mules", I think exploitation is more apt. Breaks and lunches are assigned and documented, though im sure that is a c.y.a. maneuver, it is definitely not out of the goodness of their heart's. People move about like robots; fast, orderly, doing way more than humanly possible and emotionless. Theres no time for emotion! Theres no profit in emotion! Hence while this place is the concentration camp of the automotive industry.
