Pros
- outstanding benefits very cheap compared to other employers I have heard about - 401k matching - easily recognizable name "gold start" on resume so to speak - opportunity to move departments within HMA - discount on Honda & Acura vehicles, as well as, Honda power equipment - tuition reimbursement as long as degree is related to current opportunities and job responsibilities - job security - opportunity to learn how to use Catia - average salary but with the ability to earn paid overtime
Cons
- very little application of technics learned in college - job title is either business _______ or engineer _____ even for those individuals that have no academic background in engineering - most managers have been promoted from within the company - most groups are under staffed especially those related to New Model - The concept that if you are good at your job then they will keep you there. But if you mess up then you will be moved and occasionally promoted. - Few degreed engineers on staff so little direction on how to be an engineer in a manufacturing facility - communication between groups - expectations vs explanation / understanding of tasks - more than likely the majority of your time will be spent behind a computer in excel or PowerPoint. - very little opportunity to move between plants or within the company as a whole - to get any formal training as a whole is more difficult than it should be especially if it is a topic that you are just interested in and doesn't directly relate to your job responsibilities - individuals have a vocal distaste for individuals that have some level of education especially those that are degreed engineers If you decided to become an engineer to make a difference and excelled in class and the technical side of things I would not recommend working here except in a very few select groups and even then you won't be using the technics learned in school.
