Pros
good pay good benefits pension employees are proud of what Volvo stands for good life/work balance when needed, but long hours regularly put in at other times to get the job done
Cons
Good ole boy network at executive levels Company president rotated about every 3-4 years and each brings their own management style and priorities Company presidents must be from Sweden corporate headquarters The Swedes and the North Americans don't trust each other, don't understand each other Very cyclical industry and during downturns there will be lay offs Executives often at odds with dealers and won't own up to problems in product quality
