Pros

Great work environment, good benefits, up to date machinery with any support you needed. Local management was very supportive.

Cons

Bad decisions by a former CEO forced a lot of lay offs and hardship for employees. Closed two plants, one in Texas and one in Alabama. When the announcement was made that my plant would be closing, Navistar offered no help at all. I was able to find another job before the last day and lost out on my severance. I was told that I was the one leaving even after they told 280 of us we wouldn't have a job in a couple of months.

Pros

- Has a cafeteria and Starbucks on site

Cons

- They are not a growing company, recently laid off about 400 people company wide due to financial reasons. There are more lay- offs to come. - There's no camaraderie, especially in Human Resources department. Everyone just goes right to there desk for 8 hours and then leaves for the day. No friendships or how was your weekend and, be aware, you will be thrown under the bus by others for them to get a leg up. - If you do not speak Spanish you will be terminated at some point. I was repeatedly told to start learning Spanish by my boss so she wouldn't have to speak English. I would also be in meetings where my boss and other coworker would start speaking Spanish knowing I couldn't understand what they were discussing and they would get annoyed when I would ask if they could speak in English during our meetings.
