Pros

AAM is a good company that pays well. They are doing great work to innovate the automotive industry with their push for electric cars. The people that you will work with are nice. Their Co-Op program, like a long term internship, is great for college students to gain real working experience and make good money while learning and having the company work with their school schedules allowing half days and allowing them to be absent for the week of exams.

Cons

They talk about diversity and inclusion but when the CEO puts thousands into the Republican party it is hard to think that the company truly supports LGBTQ+ and diversity. As an automotive company, they are also very old school which with younger employees I think doesn't always aline very well with what they want from a company anymore.

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Hybrid work schedule. 2. Supportive diverse teams who really make an effort to welcome you, help with navigating systems, processes & procedures. 3. Leadership is engaged at all-levels, willing to help and they have a strong grasp on the day-to-day issues that Buyers are dealing with in 2021 during global energy crisis, port delays, raw material price increases, and labor shortages. 4. Very nice HQ building with covered parking and onsite cafeteria with healthy food choices on menu. 5. Rewarding & Empowering, emphasis on inclusion, also annual profit sharing.

Cons

1. Stressful commute to Detroit HQ - lessened by Hybrid schedule but still not enjoyable with terrible road potholes, poor lighting, fear of stranded with flat tire, construction, traffic congestion. 2. Longer work hours (avg 48 hours per week, plus commute time). 3. Intense / fast-paced - but also rewarding. 4. Having to pay Detroit City Tax! Terrible. 5. Spouses have to pay $100 per month to participate in "Family" coverage.
