Pros

Got to see a lot of cool things like car crashes, barrier testing, wind tunnel testing, and tire testing. The people you work with make the job fun.

Cons

Working 60-80 hour weeks and only getting paid for 40 is a major buzzkill and makes all of your employees burned out. The higher-ups kept preaching about record profits but none of them made it to the people that work the hardest and longest for those profits. Work culture is very bad, you get questioned why you are leaving after 40 hours a week or 8 hours a day by upper management. It was expected you work 50 hours and not get paid for it,

Pros

Great benefits. PTO and 401k match is great. Great crash test facility.

Cons

The mangers run a day to day operation. No long term plans. Employees are just thrown in to get the work done without proper communication. Expected to work 50+ hrs/week. Poor work-life balance No feedback from the mangers to the employees. No open honest communication. Everything is gossip-based information.
