Pros

The pace at which you are expected to work and perform is relentless, as much a factor of the automotive components industry as it is the Lear culture. If you accept it and work with it, it will prepare you for whatever other endeavors you may undertake in your career and, quite possibly, your personal life.

Cons

The behavior and demeanor of many of the executives, at some of the locations, are, at times, less than professional in front of other employees and subordinates, never in front of the customers. This does not promote a satisfying work environment, much less a proffesional one. Also, process is often sacrificed in the name of expediency.

Pros

Great benefits, wonderful campus, free Starbucks daily (as of 7/2026), pay is competitive, benefits are great, unlimited PTO (within reason, switches to short term or long term disability at some point) flexible schedule (manager heavily influences this) people actually do get promoted from time to time unlike other places.

Cons

As with every job, it will have some cons. But still worth it if you get the opportunity: It’s a large place and everyone’s experience is different. You can end up in a bad department or with a bad manager, and you’re kind of stuck unless you can transfer out. People don’t really retire from here. You usually get to 50’s or 60’s and they cut you a buy out check, and if you’re not ready to retire, you’re going to be 50-60 in the job market again. They’ve had a hiring freeze on for a long time, so anyone new is going to be an intern or co-op. So if your department is skeleton crew, it’s gonna be that way unless you want a 20 year old on your team that could be great,.. or not so great. Everybody gets the same yearly raise depending on performance, and it doesn’t really keep up with inflation. Your best way up is a promotion.
