Business Outlook
Pros
Wages and benefits are attractive, however that is because turnover has been so high that salaries have had to been upgraded in order to keep people.
Cons
it is a matrix organization that results in departments being pitted against each other - plant managers do not report to the head of someone in the US but rather report to a group executive in South Africa. Company has not grown organically (in spite of the strong auto industry sales in the US) but rather gains have been made only by reductions, expense slashing and restructuring - it is not growing based on new business - quality problems with production mishaps are due to the lack of investment in new equipment
