Pros

Great people, good pay, opportunities in IT

Cons

Processes all over the place, outsourcing was a disaster in spite of what management says publicly, constant re-org, no internal listings for upper mgmt positions (and most of those going to auto industry or related folks), extremely low morale, cumbersome change and project processes, good people and experts leaving in droves...

Pros

What they lack in pay they make up for in vacation. Okay company if you are an engineer or executive manager, only. Really great workforce that do the day-to-day operations. Thank those that you see on the road or talk to on the phone because they are the only real reason your gas and lights are on.

Cons

Employee salary is less than 10% of co. total operation cost. Exrcutive compensation is very top heavy, see our annual report. Customer is #1 only when convient, see JD Power awards since 2000. Costly operating system implemented several years ago, SAP, is a complete failure. Consistanly reactive other than proactive with everything. An employees merit increse has been below the cost of living for the last 8 years. If you have any degree other than engineering you will find it very hard to move up in company. Glass ceilings everywhere.
