Pros

Tenneco treated me very well. I was able to complete my Master's degree while there and was paid for. The company allowed me to work on other functional department projects. As an engineer, I worked on marketing, sales, accounting, and others. I was always busy and felt proud of my contributions. Salary was decent. Benefits average for the industry. Gregg has done a good job turning it around from Mark. He likes to use facts and figures to make a call compared to a knee jerk decision.

Cons

Very typical automotive that is publicly traded. 4th quarter expense lock down and sometimes too focused on cost cutting. They roll out high level strategies to all the division's regardless if it makes sense for that division at that time. I was there during a rather big layoff and no input to which of my employees should be kept. For most people in the auto industry, this should not be a surprise. Employee recognition was minimal. My general manager was one to take all the credit. I don't think this applies to all the different divisions from what I saw.

Pros

Good pay , good benefits

Cons

This Tenneco is not like the other TENNECO’s around the world, this particular place can’t keep a plant manager for longer than 1-2 years, because their entire management is completely corrupt and back stabbing people, they constantly are changing upper management positions around to find unqualified and unsuccessful ways to try and make things better ?? This is a joke , they back stab their employees that are not a part of their group of corrupt people, the management makes up their own policies and completely ignore the corporate policies ?? One manager will always give more power to an employee they love, and others will throw the book at them when that manager doesn’t like the employee? These managers are a complete failure to the company and all need to be fired and new managers should take over, also this company is so dirty and disgusting, the CEO of Tenneco should come see this horrible particular facility and take action against the corrupt people
