Pros

Initiative and good performance is rewarded and can gain your co-workers' and manager's respect. You have the opportunity to work with people from many different parts of the world. You occasionally get to travel to meet with suppliers/customers. You have a measure of independence and a sense of personal achievement.

Cons

There is a very high level of stress involved at all levels in the company. That means tempers run short sometimes and your manager may not have enough time to address your concerns or look over things you need him/her to approve in a timely manner. Management is very cheap and they sometimes take decisions that damage the company's image and customer's trust in order to cut costs. There are quite a few employees who do the work of a higher position but they do not get promoted to it or get paid for all the qualified work they do that is not part of their job.

A good place to start

Pros

If you want to start learning a trade or get into technology out of school this is a good place to start. It is the biggest employer in the city and there are some good discounts to be headed for gym memberships etc.

Cons

This would not be a place to move to from any other job. They cut employees' salaries without approval and turn over is extremely high. When customers are slow to order management can close off a complete factory sending everyone home - temporary layoff is one of the buzz words.

Pros

Entrepreneurial culture. Good and very diverse group of people through out all the plants. Good attitude amoung employees and management.

Cons

It is a family owned company so there is a glass ceiling. Management is overwhelmed. Its in the Auto Industry - not the best times currently.
