Pros

If you already got a job there well hang to it because this is hard to get a better one now and if your conditions are fair enough to stay why change.

Cons

The HR department hire staffing agency from Texas (because no other agencies want them as a customer in Sarasota/Bradenton) for as low as $8.28 per hour to fire them out 4 days during a work rush in front of everybody for no good reason because they state they have a problem with the agency and after contacting the agency they say that the employee does'nt work out there !

Pros

Great people to work with, great opportunities for advancement if willing to work hard. I would have nothing really negative to say about my experience there, I made regular career advancements throughout my 26 year career there. Company is progressive and diversified, and they have levereaged their portfolio to protect against market fluxuations very well.

Cons

Recent merger of Truck and Automotive groups into one Vehicles Group has caused major confusion within the front line work force. Large corporate atmosphere removes much of the individuality and talent of it's workforce. The move was supposed to highlight the 'Power of One', but it was handled poorly by upper management, and coupled with the economic downturn seemed to cause mass-confusion instead of the benefits as outlined.

Pros

Most ethical company I've experienced, with tremendous focus on empowering folks to deliver on commitments. Financially sound with keen eye for business stability on the downside and preparation for the upturn.

Cons

Strong focus on leveraging low cost global workforce and supply chain has increased the keen sense of needing to perform above average to stay even.
