Pros

Great benefits I like the truck business Lots of international travel

Cons

Management is very disrespectful to most employees Management competence limited in many areas Work at Volvo in Hagerstown for over 10 years. I was able to learn a lot and I kept my job through the recession, which I am grateful for. On the downside was some spectacularly poor management. The plant manager, who was appointed in 2011 is an intelligent man but he is a poor leader. Many people were either in or out with him as soon as he took charge. The logisitcs dept was out and we have all left. Many were colleagues whom I have a great deal of respect for. The plant mgr and his staff are not a competant group to run a facility like Hagerstown. I have worked at some exceptional companies and this is not one of them. Intimidation is often the leadership tool of choice.

Pros

Volvo is a stylish company that you can feel proud of saying that you work for...People dress well, offices and people are well-appointed and groomed. Even break areas have a high-end sense of style which is very pleasant to be around, and carries into an overall pride in sense of style as an automotive design and production company. The quality of product and service is something to be proud to represent as well.

Cons

I believe this is one of those companies where people are very competent but so worried about getting fired or replaced that their need to seem perfect keeps them from making wise choices.
