Good company to work for.

Pros

Good benefits, medical insurance, paid vacation and sick leave, excellent retirement plan, and 401K. Once you are vested with the company they match your 401K contributions $0.50 on the dollar up to 10% of your salary. Good people to work with, there are always a few not so good ones that slip in, but overall good teams. The company encourages promotion from within or even movement between the different divisions of the company.

Cons

We have had poor leadership in the past but for now we are in a good place in the cycle. We survived the "Outsource Everything" era, it is good to see the manufacturing of critical vehicle components coming back in-house where quality can be better controlled.
