Pros

- Large company with a classic structure, good if you come just out of college to get to know how corporations work - Company vehicles very well equipped - Quite open management, transparency top-down up to a certain (high) level - Dynamic company, challenging environment to work in

Cons

- Takes a very long time to make any advancements career wise - When you just entered the company straight out of college and want to grow one level you will have to wait + 7 - 8 years meanwhile making no advancements, or very little advancements, wage wise - Lack of trust in juniors - Processflows are the achillesheel of the company, takes way to long to effectuate change

Pros

The pay and co workers

Cons

Strict , strict attendance . No reason excepted . Plan on leaving your house an hour early . Take 10 minutes to walk-in the building and another 10 to get to your area. 10 minutes breaks leaves you with 4 minutes to sit down outside unless you sit on the assembly line. Huge turnover . I haven’t found a person who hasn’t worked there. The is a hair sample drug test , a time assembly test , and a question test about your experiences and how you’d handle events . Then 2 weeks in a classroom that you literally think you have landed the best job in America because the lady is wonderful , smiling and has a great personality . These 2 weeks are the only best things about that place. Within 3 months their was 2 of us left out of 30 of us and then I quit. Everything is kept in-house . Fire department , doctors etc so the public doesn’t know what truly happens . Don’t stop the line even for a heart attack and that is the truth. Just move to the side and sit on a crate . Wrong parts place on the car - don’t stop the line , just add the cars to the enormous staging parking lot of thousands and thousands of “ reworks “ . Depending on the assembly line you might luck out on not dying all the way. I Would never recommend the assembly line for anyone over 30 and even at 20 I’d recommend going somewhere else to find a career that you know you’ll be at for years .
