Pros

Decent benefits package, and easy ways to move up in the company depending on your site location. Hydrogen fuel cells are the future of renewable energy storage.

Cons

Just before and right after large investment from big banks, benefits began to be rolled back and huge sweeping changes in management. They hired upper management known for eliminating any possible “waste” of shareholder profits. Also, at my site at Honda in Marysville, the day shift tech was best friends with his boss. He was allowed to keep him as a manager while I was under the new management team. He proceeded to blatantly do no work for the next 6 months I was there, and ai could see that he had been doing the bare minimum for PMs and repairs before I got there. He never communicated and called off constantly causing my trainer to have to cover his shift instead of training me. I finally challenged him on these things and found that I was now in the hot seat for everything I did. I was sad to leave. It was such a good prospect for doing what I enjoy: fixing things.
