Pros

The company culture at the corporate level has historically been strong. Compensation is about average for the industry and the benefits package is solid. As a remote employee, I’ve been fortunate to work with a great team and supportive direct leaders who care about doing good work.

Cons

Recently, new leadership initiatives have begun shifting the direction of the company. For example, there appears to be a heavy focus on automation and AI investments into my sector of the business, which has created uncertainty for many roles that do not require specialized technical skills or executive leadership experience. Many long-tenured leaders who helped shape the culture have been with the company for 10+ years, but it is unclear if that same level of stability will exist going forward. There has also been a push from HR for employees near a home office to return to hybrid or in-office work. Most newly posted roles now require proximity to a home office, with very few fully remote positions available. This can limit internal mobility for existing remote employees, even when their experience aligns well with the role requirements. Additionally, internal compensation policies appear to favor external hires in some situations. Internal transfers often retain similar compensation unless the move is classified as a formal promotion, which can discourage internal career growth. Overall, policies and structural decisions sometimes feel prioritized over retaining experienced internal talent.

Pros

working on different vehicles is fun

Cons

this place was fun to work at first, then im not sure what happened and mangement took it up a notch and just complamied about everything. Managment started gas lightining and threating peoples jobs cause they couldnt hit the goal numbers that they contiuned to change every week while not giving us the support that we needed to even reach those goals. we would have meetings every morning just for managment to ignore your needs and concerns. they would munipulate labor times all the time.
