Pros

BIg Company, lots of resources to capitalize on. good global footprint that not many can match. instant name brand recognition both good and bad

Cons

too many people, big company, very difficult to keep business. too operations focused. tail wagging the dog theory. if the customers requirements are outside the box, then it gets even more difficult to create solution. the incentive plan is very difficult to understand and manage. once you do get an understanding of it, then managing and insuring you get paid can be time consuming.

Pros

Some of the people are great to work with, there are some very qualified, well educated people among the bunch....but are steadily dropping like flies

Cons

Unfair work practices, favortism, poor management/leadership, union control Management will play games with people which will ultimately lead to those people quitting. In some areas you have union control (which is felt in every department), some union workers are dedicated and actual do their job while others exploit the union loopholes and get away with everything. Ultimately these negative union workers work to pollute the good ones... Company has potentional if they could just break away from the union, fat chance.

Pros

Not a single one comes to mind

Cons

I don't think there is enough words for how absolutely horrid the management is in Detroit. They do not care about you as a person. They smile in your face then break your morale, the very little we have left. They tell you to come to them when you need help or with any questions then make you feel like a burden for asking them a question. Literally, verbally exasperated when replying or they will belittle you for not knowing something. They drone on and on about being a team then destroy the morale. They also love to tell you how "transparent" they are then conveniently forget to inform you of changes that affect your life and schedule.
