Avoid Like the Plague - Commodity Manager Dana Incorporated Employee Review

Pros

Compensation is higher than the norm...t not to mention good benefits, but that's about it. Some of the plant managers are great to work for, and most of your managerial cohorts will be well-qualified people who know what they are doing.

Cons

Toxic political atmosphere at most locations and at Corporate office. Blatant favortism and not forthcoming with hourly employees regarding major changes that are coming up. Extremely high voluntary (and involuntary) turnover in the upper management ranks, especially at the director level or above. Promotions are very much given based on whom one knows instead of what one knows. Probably the scariest part of working here is the almost-daily news that yet another Dana plant is closing, downsizing, or moving to Mexico to "restructure the North American manufacturing footprint", as the "Restructuring Director" so tactfully put it.. Claim they promote diversity within their company, but if you are a minority or female, you can pretty much forget ending up on the Board.

Pros

Hard to be fired, good benefits, double time Sundays.

Cons

No room to grow. Pay scale is a tier system based on a union contract that we negotiate every 3-5 years and the raises are never more than a dollar or two. They offer apprenticeships that you only get if you are related to someone and have some kind of friend up front. Qualifications mean nothing you learn more you do more and get paid less than then the tier 1 employees which makes the newer highers also not want to work so you will be in limbo working harder for nothing.
