Pros

Benefits are good and start pay is not too bad for the Mitchell Building. Centrally located. Decent restaurants in the area. Close to bars that you can drown your sorrows in after your shift. If you like to brown nose you might have a chance.

Cons

Pisgah Building: Management is a joke. The shift supervisors rely on their favorite production employees to fill them in on gossip and believe every word they say. Upper management is clueless as to what goes on in the plant and HR is Reactive to any rumors reported. I have personally witnessed at least 4 people walked out this way. If I want you fired all I would have to do is make an accusation about you to HR and poof, you're gone. If you like yearly 2% raises then Linamar NC is the place for you. If you like working 12 days on and 2 days off then Linamar NC is the place for you. If you like getting treated like a sweatshop worker in a third world country then Linamar NC is the place for you.

Pros

The pay was okas long as you were happy with the rate you started with because the raises were small and bonuses were a joke. The benefits were good. Never short on hours.

Cons

They treat employees on the floor like trash and I was an office employee and saw how they overworked them and then let them go at the drop of a hat. The leadership team is like the snobby group from high school you always were bullied by, they gave themselves all the dinners out and raises but left the actual working people out.

Pros

Great co-workers, interesting and challenging workload, good benefit package

Cons

Poor communication, ineffective managers, employee performance metrics leading to advancement is a mystery and subject to individual interpretation, company leadership tried to do too much too quickly and got caught spending too much on expansion and then subsequently couldnt pay their own employees and did a huge layoff.
