Pros
Benefits: great insurance benefits. they cover a huge portion of insurance premiums. Perks: nice auto lease program, discount on Honda products, parts, accessories. Credit union, on site car pick up for service (for Hondas of course). Polite, friendly, cooperative people. Respect for the individual is one of the company values. Work life balance: everyone strives to preserve 40 hour work week. Training: there is a budget to take training courses. Very customer-centric company: everyone rolls up their sleeves to take care of the customer.
Cons
Change comes too slowly: any improvements are based on building consensus, meaning that one complaint can stop progress --> positive change almost always comes too late. There doesn't seem to be clear long-term planning (electrification). A lot of modernization comes from a sudden feeling like it's an emergency. There's no clear plan on career development for the next generation of employees/leaders. Culture: it is hard to fire people. That means that low performance or offensive behavior are not punished or corrected compared to other companies. Management is not very diverse. In some business units senior management is 90% Caucasian male. IT: company doesn't really invest in IT infrastructure. Software and database or at least 10 to 15 years old. IT can take weeks to fix things, or lead with “we can’t do that/ that’s not my job”.
