Pros

International company so there are opportunities for international travel and assignments but it seems that the international assignments are more for people into the US Number 3 or 4 automotive supplier in the world

Cons

The only source of revenue is in the automotive industry so pay and benefits ebb and flow with the health of that industry At this facility engineers are leaving left and right and everyone else is being laid off The company is very lean as far as management and because it is a German company it seems that opportunities for Americans to move up the ladder are few

Pros

Great work life balance and culture. If you want to work at a place that will provide a low stress, flexible position with amazing people, this place is no doubt one of the best in that area.

Cons

Pay is low compared to other companies in the area and the cost of living in the area is high. They seem to be outsourcing jobs to cut costs, so job security is not the best right now.
