Pros

Nice facility. You can have plenty of opportunities to move up because people are exiting quickly. They spend money stupid things that don't help you make money like nobody's business, but when it comes things like marketing there's nothing in the budget for that. If you are a productive employee, you have everything you need to succeed, just don't take a promotion.

Cons

Like much of the auto industry long hours, 60hrs a week is not uncommon. When you are promoted don't expect any increase in salary, they want to dangle a title rather than reward you with a carrot for your efforts. The budgets for managers departments are always unrealistic, and your salary is adjusted every year when you don't hit it. You are forced to use race car sponsors products, if there is anything else that might be cheaper, better or easier it's off limits.

Pros

The full time benefits are good, the ability to learn a new industry is great as this place offers a great opportunity to learn.

Cons

the hours are really long, vacation time is very minimal regardless of how long you have been there, the ability to leave early is rare even if there is no work to be done. No set schedule, everyone just works bell to bell.

Pros

State of the art shops. All tile floors and air conditioned. Union technicians. Employee car purchase program is good. They buy us shoes every year.

Cons

They are very cheap! This is a multi-million dollar corporation and they pinch every penny! They don't like to spend money to maintain or update the equipment. Equipment doesn't get serviced until it's broken. The benefits are horrendous. They only offer one health plan and it sucks, like not having insurance at all. Management is over reaching and don't care about their employees. They preach "company policy" and break the rules themselves everyday! We get paid twice a month, used to be weekly, so they can save on payroll and make millions in interest on our Checks. So much more to say but these are the biggest
