      Time off? What's that?!

      Pros

      Good pay for the area. That's pretty much the ONLY selling point for this job.

      Cons

      EXTREME amounts of mandatory overtime. No family time. No social life. Vacation requests are regularly denied, so should you need a day off you risk reprimand. Unsafe working conditions. Hostile and deplorable working conditions. Little to no chance for advancements unless you "know a guy". Moral is non existent. The few good managers get neutered by their bosses and left little more than middle men/women with no real authority. Floor workers concerns are virtually ignored or dismissed outright. Should you make a complaint or voice any negative thoughts you're met with, "well you can always quit".

      Pros

      Large company with all of infrastructure and benefits. Leader in product areas.

      Cons

      Lots of churn over last few years at top management level. Recently added many additional senior management, many from JCI (CEO's former company).

      Micromanaging At It's Worst!

      Pros

      Fair salary and average paid time off

      Cons

      This was the most unpleasant, hostile work environment I have ever encountered. The pay seems enticing, but not for the amount of grief one must endure on a daily basis. Significant turnover from executive to hourly employees, probably due to job burnout by the employee. No loyalty to anyone or anything. Managers regularly take credit for their team's work and have no problem hanging their team out to dry when an issue arrises. The tension is palpable, I would never recommend Tenneco to anyone.
