Pros

Plenty of opportunity for advancement (because the experienced people are leaving in droves).

Cons

I am a current employee of over 10 years that used to absolutely LOVE my career at Navistar. Unfortunately it's now time to move on as so many already have and continue to do so. Almost all of the experienced people here have jumped ship leaving only green employees fresh out of school with no experience. Upper management continues to pick up upper level flunkies from GM (the company that was just led into bankruptcy) like they are gold. You will not be rewarded for taking on additional responsibilities - neither with appreciation nor financial incentive. Executive management continues to make decisions that is leading to employees leaving at a rate of 1.5 people per day. Current employees are required to work 2-3 jobs and most departments are running skeleton crews. RUN don't walk from this company unless you are fresh out of school or hard up for a job.

Pros

- Has a cafeteria and Starbucks on site

Cons

- They are not a growing company, recently laid off about 400 people company wide due to financial reasons. There are more lay- offs to come. - There's no camaraderie, especially in Human Resources department. Everyone just goes right to there desk for 8 hours and then leaves for the day. No friendships or how was your weekend and, be aware, you will be thrown under the bus by others for them to get a leg up. - If you do not speak Spanish you will be terminated at some point. I was repeatedly told to start learning Spanish by my boss so she wouldn't have to speak English. I would also be in meetings where my boss and other coworker would start speaking Spanish knowing I couldn't understand what they were discussing and they would get annoyed when I would ask if they could speak in English during our meetings.
