Pros

As a new employee it was a new type of work for me that I really enjoyed. I liked learning about car parts and having the chance to work assembly

Cons

I did not like the short lunch breaks and the area that I was working in. It was too cold. I prefer that the dress atmosphere is not so laid back. I don't care to wear sweat pants to work.

Pros

Benefits are okay. Kind of expensive but good coverage and good 401k match (but they match with stock). People were generally pleasant to work with.

Cons

If you work in corporate you will be doing three jobs for one salary. In a global role, you are required to run interference across all time zones and your three jobs for one salary turns into slightly more than minimum wage with all of the hours you put in. Also no one will ever say thank you and your bonus will be a fraction of what it should be. Management also will not tell you about the bonus payout if it looks to be less than promised. Everyone was openly looking for a job in lake forest except the executives. The C suite walks around like peacocks. Morale is terrible. People are dropping like flies left and right and they don’t even have jobs to go to AND some of those people were key positions. Read: No Job is better than a job at Tenneco. Senior management made an engagement committee and they are trying to make Tenneco fun to work at. But work cannot be fun when you literally have to do the job of three people for slightly more than minimum wage. the federal mogul integration/spin-off of driv is unpleasant. The two cultures are very different and it kind of feels like working in a case study from your MBA. Also Fox News is always on in the CEOs office which explains to me why there is no diversity in leadership positions.
