Pros

Benefits are okay. Kind of expensive but good coverage and good 401k match (but they match with stock). People were generally pleasant to work with.

Cons

If you work in corporate you will be doing three jobs for one salary. In a global role, you are required to run interference across all time zones and your three jobs for one salary turns into slightly more than minimum wage with all of the hours you put in. Also no one will ever say thank you and your bonus will be a fraction of what it should be. Management also will not tell you about the bonus payout if it looks to be less than promised. Everyone was openly looking for a job in lake forest except the executives. The C suite walks around like peacocks. Morale is terrible. People are dropping like flies left and right and they don’t even have jobs to go to AND some of those people were key positions. Read: No Job is better than a job at Tenneco. Senior management made an engagement committee and they are trying to make Tenneco fun to work at. But work cannot be fun when you literally have to do the job of three people for slightly more than minimum wage. the federal mogul integration/spin-off of driv is unpleasant. The two cultures are very different and it kind of feels like working in a case study from your MBA. Also Fox News is always on in the CEOs office which explains to me why there is no diversity in leadership positions.

Pros

Good pay , good benefits

Cons

This Tenneco is not like the other TENNECO’s around the world, this particular place can’t keep a plant manager for longer than 1-2 years, because their entire management is completely corrupt and back stabbing people, they constantly are changing upper management positions around to find unqualified and unsuccessful ways to try and make things better ?? This is a joke , they back stab their employees that are not a part of their group of corrupt people, the management makes up their own policies and completely ignore the corporate policies ?? One manager will always give more power to an employee they love, and others will throw the book at them when that manager doesn’t like the employee? These managers are a complete failure to the company and all need to be fired and new managers should take over, also this company is so dirty and disgusting, the CEO of Tenneco should come see this horrible particular facility and take action against the corrupt people
