Pros

The company makes truly great vehicles that really do save lives. Great people that actually make the company successful in spite of itself.

Cons

Incredibly poor training. Expectations for performance are high, but quality training is completely absent. Management doesn't ever understand how long it actually takes to do an adequate job. Always underestimating the time required to meet deadlines. Management philosophy is that employees don't matter. They expect you to "bleed Oshkosh" but there's absolutely no commitment the other way. Management accountability is only one way. There's zero accountability to the people who report to managers.

Pros

If you can "shut-up and color" you will do well. If you like to be micro-managed, you will do well.

Cons

See "Pros" above, which are actually cons.
