Pros

Has had tremendous growth over last several years. Decent pay and benefits.

Cons

New Executive management team of the steering business in the US is extremely removed from the day to day operations. New exec management team operates on remote control -- invisible to the plant and among most of the staff. The handling (firing) of the long term executive management team that had led the company to huge growth and profitability bordered on unprofessional, and has poisoned morale. Fear exists among managers and non-managers that jobs are not safe despite good performance, and that new executive team will bring in more long-term Bosch employees from other locations that they are more comfortable with. Entrepreneurial spirit of the organization has been killed. Centralization of certain functions has decreased quality of support and efficiency of problem solving locally, and has resulted in loss of jobs at the Florence site.

Pros

A very stable work environment. Very low turn-over for key personnel., especially upper management.

Cons

It is a highly political environment. This can create a lot of unnecessary stress. The current management has been there for ages and are not going anywhere. This makes it incredibly difficult for newer people to rise through the ranks. Even when they are better than their superiors.

Pros

Great coworkers; some flexibility to work from home

Cons

Company struggling in the fast paced IAM industry; leadership team rotates in and out frequently meaning the fundamental issues are never solved. Moral is a big issue here.
