Pros

Summit does offer decent benefits (medical, dental, 401k). Employee deductibles are fairly low compared to other companies.

Cons

Growth potential is higher for men. System utilization is very poor. Data is unreliable. System is antiquated. Company does not want to invest in systems that will allow them to grow in a successful manner.

Pros

Summit has ups and downs. Men earn higher wages and are promoted more often, but everyone who works hard will have a job. They are a large employer in our area - many families have several people working here.

Cons

Wages are generally on the low side for the automotive industry. The only way to make more is to be promoted to manager or supervisor. Some people are great where they are, but make terrible managers.
