Pros

Pay, benefits, hours, all are good

Cons

Insurance could be better for the work we do.

Grede Response

Thank you for the five star review. In 2025, we made improvements to our benefits package, in addition to no increase in rates for employees. One of the most significant pieces of feedback we received in our engagement survey was to improve our benefits package. We worked hard to do just that in 2025.
