People are very nice and believe in doing the right thing. Compensation and benefits are competitive, great amenities (fitness center, campus, etc.)

Cons

Executive efforts are not always coordinated resulting in missed opportunities for collaboration and some frustrating dynamics

Pros

Some business functions have a good attitude and are really striving for success... The engineers and manufacturing functions are giving it their all, however is it too little too late? The company is very proactive and ahead of its time with respect to employee health. Accomplishments have been made in creating/expanding footprints in Brazil and China. Like many others, the company is moving headlong into natural gas.

Cons

Serious cost structure issues and product quality issues are two challenges no manufacturer ever wants to face simultaneously. All the while, those that need to tackle the cost issues are themselves a part of the problem. A 1980s mindset in 2012. The current executive management is bound for gallows, with what I fear to be a new regime that will specialize in short order reorganization and cost cutting... Alternatively, if the stock price goes too low, Navistar might end up being a heck of a bargain due to it's dealer network, and distribution and manufacturing capacities. The military business unit is done for the time being.

Pros

A lot of great people, opportunities if you've got the right manager. Good development opportunities, but you have to seek them out for yourself. Visionary leader who sees the future of the industry and is guiding the company in the right direction.

Cons

Struggling to make the current strategy work. From the outside it looks like we can't seem to get it together, and our stock price is reflecting that as of right now. It'll turn around eventually, but the next 24 months are probably going to be rocky.
