Pros

Focused on growing and not remaining stagnant. Driving positive change is an expectation, along with Challenging ideas to find the "right thing" to do. Encouraged to treat others they should be treated. Culture fit is the focus for talent acquisition which helps make sure everyone is swimming in the same direction however thought diversity is encouraged/expected as part of the challenge process. Tons of opportunity to advance or try out other roles. Compensation is based on your contribution, not on the number of years you've been there. The more value you create, the more compensation you can obtain.

Cons

Bureaucratic at times. It's difficult to gain alignment on the Enterprise level. Upper leaders want to drive a Digital Transformation, however, there's little evidence they want to model the way forward. It's corporate, they'll let you work your fingers to bone, you need to take control of work-life balance.

Pros

Paycheck with benefits. Always work available. 60h max work.

Cons

Lots of games all over. The newest guy always gets the blame. Blame is a currency in this place. NO ONE LASTS HERE- 2x every year they keep changing Buyer and Manufacturing Supervisor. The plant floor looks like a car mechanic's mess.

All employees are encouraged to share concerns directly with their supervisors or HR leaders. Our Guideline resource is also available for those who prefer to communicate anonymously. Staying informed helps us to better evaluate each unique circumstance and ensure that our values are upheld everywhere we operate. We agree that hiring the right people, retaining them, and continuing to develop their skills and knowledge is essential for long-term success.

Cafeteria, Salary, Employment, Clean Bathrooms

Everything else. Such a soul-sucking environment. Do it just to see if it's as bad as they say. I didn't believe. I do now.
