Pros

The experienced workforce, but that is dwindling.

Cons

New owners don't understand the business and have no regard or respect for all the experienced workers they're shedding.

Poor Financial state and Poor Leadership

Pros

Starting at the company it was an exciting learning environment. It quickly went downhill with changes in leadership and a new executive team that was brought in.

Cons

It was one of the worst environments I have ever worked in....many employees are so frustrated they are looking for new roles. While many reviews will discuss the financial state of the business (even some that have been deleted recently) the only thing I find worse than the financial state is the way the employees are being treated. Many executives lead their departments with a chauvinistic style of leadership that make employees afraid to speak up. Often times leaders blamed their poor performance on those who were juggling multiple projects and competing priorities that led to many employees to seek employment elsewhere. Some of us even jumped ship without another offer in hand. There are no women in leadership positions left within Tenneco which I think speaks for itself. I am hopeful the board is looking at not only the financial aspects but the current morale and engagement of employees left and the current style of leadership that is taking place at the very top levels.

Pros

If you want to be in Private Equity, and desire to witness post-acquisition carnage, look no further than the Huns running Tenneco.

Cons

CEO style... foul mouthed, and "Say anything" philosophy CEO just hired his son... nepotism is the rule Promote from within is dead.. "Natives" are the enemy DEI is dead.. No time for social responsibility...the penalty for this won't show up soon enough anyway, and by that time, the new Leadership will be gone.
