Pros

The benefits were the best I've ever seen. Not a dime came out of my pay check, and they put money into a rollover HSA with $5 prescriptions. I don't think I ever had to pay anything out of pocket. There is a good culture and everyone is really nice. The hard part about leaving Honda was leaving the people. I haven't found anything like it since! Another pro is they have an AMAZING new onsite gym with great equipment and regulation bball court.

Cons

Purchasing is known to not pay very well. They lose a lot of great talent because lack of pay. I was head hunted and left for an offer making DOUBLE what Honda was paying me. Another Con is it is SO far away from the city. It's an hour from downtown Columbus. You're pretty much stuck living in the Dublin area, unless you like living in BFE. You technically get ZERO sick/PTO your first year, which is ridiculous. How is someone supposed to plan a dr or dentist appointment if work is 35 miles away from civilization.

Pros

Driven company & results oriented. In the end, you will have success, but it depends on how miserable you want to be in the process.

Cons

Toxic work environment. So results oriented that they abuse workers mentally and take away any "freedoms" that they say you have. People aren't an asset to Honda executives.

Pros

There is a massive amount of experience to be gained working in QA. At some point or another, you'll end up working with just about every department within the plant, and you'll also work with suppliers, design studios, testing facilities, and other plants. You will get CAD& hands on experience, and just about anything else if you try for it. This is a perfect place to gain experience, bulk out your resume. Honda's Core Values are great, and Honda's culture is one of acceptance, learning, and personal growth. But.... see the cons section

Cons

It is trial by fire, with practically zero mentor ship from management. Trying to work with other departments (or even in QA) can prove extremely grating, as they are stuck in their ways. You will always have an incredible amount of work (although they DO pay for overtime, it's possible to make $80k starting....). But the worst thing about working there is management. There are quite a few people who get promoted based on the buddy system. Others are promoted to a position where they can no longer directly negatively impact projects. Some managers want to help, but seriously have no time to help. Some are just terrible leaders AND they are too busy. Unless you would like to become part of management, there is not a whole lot of room for vertical movement. The culture at HMA specifically is stifling. Some associates are just indifferent, self-entitled, lack any motivation, and are quick to shut down any ideas for improvements if it means them having to do work, or even just do something different.
