Pros

Cool cars and some fun people to work with. The pay was bad requiring most people to have multiple jobs, so starting the day at 5 am and being done by 1 allowed for workers to pick-up other work. 7 day work week was nice and the management was flexible with scheduling.

Cons

They are a staffing agency now. When I fist started, they were very hands on with the engineering and testing aspects of the cars. Now they only care about putting warm bodies in seats.
