Pros

Excellent benefits, active employee resource groups (ERGs), and the corporate facility is nice. All good things about this company come from the corporate level.

Cons

I joined Automotive thinking I would be able to transfer easily to other divisions, but I could not. Some divisions are labeled as difficult to work for (Automotive, Construction), but the site I worked at was straight-up dysfunctional. I've worked in Manufacturing for decades and these sites are so outdated and terrible I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. They are hopelessly stuck in the 1920's in terms of technology (still depending on tape as a backup for their SAP), social norms (wow, a woman is working here? CRAZY), environment (do you love breathing in oil fumes 24/7? this is the place for you), and work ethic (you should feel lucky to work only 80 hrs a week!) that I can't believe they're still in business in 2020.
