Pros

Only pro is if your Spanish then your all set

Cons

If your an American you are treated like a lesser person. As an American working at caf USA I was treated like I did not matter I was in IT and never talk once to any of my counter parts in Spain even when asking about standards they wanted us to use. Finally when I found huge problems and repaired them I was told that it did not matter I was promised raises and then had them taken away even my office space was converted into meeting room. I was written up because of thing that happens that we’re none of my doing because management could not figure out who was messing up in the factory. Finally I was constantly threatened by other managers when I did not take phone calls when I was on vacation or busy with my family then when I told them what was going on I was told that they did not care and if I wanted to continue to work there I needed to change my family life so I got employment somewhere else.

Pros

Experience of working on new trains.

Cons

Very poor HR support, the worst attitude to employee welfare I have ever experienced from a HR team. Promises made throughout employment period with very few materialising. Documentation is of a very poor standard and is certainly not controlled the way it should be. Unsatisfactory standards are considered the norm by factories and accountability for poor workmanship is non-existent. Suggestions for improvements are often made but nearly all have been ignored or have been made very difficult to implement. Everything is based around saving money and doing things cheap, which is understandable for a business but done to this extent leads to a poor service and product.
