Pros

OK but working in the auto parts field would not be my field of choice just entering the market place.

Cons

To automotive centric. Not enough focus on other market for manufacturing. Pay was ok but not great. No advancement unless you move to HQ.

Pros

Federal-Mogul is a big corporation, and for that reason has both great, and not so much people working there. Your experience there depends greatly in what department you work in. It seems that VPs have favoritism among departments. And within departments, there are a few individuals that are looked as favorites. Some of them have proven that they really deserve the special treatment. However, most of the times, preferential treatment and promotions are given on a "I like you" basis. So achieving and beating goals will not get you anywhere. You have to be liked by someone important. If you are, then you can very quickly jump up into management. If you are not, good luck.

Cons

Morale has not been great with the economic downturn. The current CEO is very hard on his subordiantes and this is reflected all the way down to employees. Some managers are great, and if you are lucky enough to work for one of them, then your time here will go very smooth. But again, if you really want to be promoted, you have to be liked by the above people

Pros

Considering all the issues facing the automotive industry, Federal-Mogul, treated their employees best of all the companies I have worked for. In terms of benefits, compensation, as well as trying to be fair to long term employees who lost money when they filed bankruptcy. Many other companies who went thru the same did not offer any benefits to help make older employees/employees with long term service close to whole.

Cons

Due to its size and large number of acquisitions during short period of time prior to the auto industry downturn - a lot of systems and internal administration was redundant and inefficient.
