Pros

The company provided good pay and benefits in a relatively stable work environment. Planning at the corporate office is done very well. They manage to maintain a somewhat entrepreneurial atmosphere even though they are a large company.

Cons

The various divisions do not work well together. Members of upper-middle management (i.e. directors and their peers) are mediocre at best.

Pros

Large size, many tools in the corporate "tool box". Good sharing of knowledge (I.E. Best in class, Read Accross).

Cons

Management always expects 80 hours of work per week. Difficult to balance work and family life. Impossible to complete all tasks in 50 hours per week. Requires working late, working weekends. No positive feedback, only negative.

Pros

Good pay with okay benefits. Overtime was good while there was a demand for the transfer cases and transaxle units was high.

Cons

The environment was not conducive to quality work or safety. Management was hamstrung by the Canadian board over innovations and renovations of the factory. We were killed off by a lack of support from that same board in favor of a few dollars saved by making the product in Mexico. Quality was not the issue and they are throwing a lot of money south of the border to bring quality up down there. We'll see if it ever happens...
