Pros

Generally friendly, helpful co-workers. Beautiful new building in Lakeville. Pay and benefits not too bad, as long as you don't need health insurance for spouse or dependents. Pretty laid-back office and warehouse atmosphere, though a bit on the stuffy, corporate side.

Cons

Unless you are in a sales position or in management, there's no greater definition of a dead-end job than working here. The company's bread and butter is sales and service for Allison Transmissions, Detroit Diesel and MTU engines, and Carrier reefer units for trucks. If your job doesn't involve one of those product lines, you aren't advancing at all here. Definite dividing lines between salespeople, managers, and everyone else. Shop guys are union and that's a whole other department. Get as much pay as you can before getting hired, because that's all you'll ever get. Performance reviews? What are those? A raise? Ha, ha, ha. HR here, like at many companies, is useless. Payroll and benefits are self-service online, so I don't know what the HR people do all day. They send out an 'employee engagement' survey each year, but the results are not shared with the employees. Makes one wonder how badly the company is reviewed. Also, their main location is in far south Lakeville, If in the Twin Cities and you don't live in the southern suburbs, you will face a brutal commute to this location.
