Pros

Historic company with great product offerings

Cons

Apollo (PE) acquisition leading to lot of change in leadership. Initially excited about the changes but new leadership has not kept their word. Lot of good leaders have left the company.

Pros

Incredible amount of overtime, paid weekly

Cons

Horrible communication between supervisors and their teams. Lies about working ergonomically and will stick you at one machine until you are burnt out. Overtime isn't announced until 2 hours before you expect to leave. Will fire you without explanation.

Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, that is about it.

Cons

Company does not value hourly employees what so ever. HR does not do their job to ensure all employees are held to the same standard. They will fire someone for pointing out, but keep another person who has pointed out, depending on how much they like you. They have recently started have an abundance of faurecia management come to Tenneco, and they have made this a horrible place to work. All of the Tenneco values are gone. They made every department report to operations managers instead of their department manager, so it is more of a dictatorship. So sad to see what was such a great company when I first started, go to the dumps. I honestly thought I would stay here until I retired, but now I can't wait for the opportunity to get out of here. Management does shady things behind closed doors that negatively affects their employees.
