Pros

There is only one ‘Pro’ to working in the Procurement & Logistics department and that is experience. You will potentially be given high responsibility from day one. If you grab this with both hands you can be getting involved with some interesting projects that have huge business impact. However, this is very rare and you have a 1 in 3 chance of getting it.

Cons

There are a significant number of ‘Cons’ to working in Procurement & Logistics at HUM. -It is expected that you do AT LEAST an hour overtime every day. If you do not then you will be called out on it. -Expect to be man managed with no trust to fulfill your duties. This is the department’s approach to management and leadership. -Out-dated processes & systems. It is incredibly demotivating to know that 75% of the tasks you complete could be automated very easily. ‘It’s always been done this way’ is the excuse. Change is feared. - Bureaucracy & Administration is rife. You will be forced to make a presentations on the most trivial things almost everyday, taking hours to complete. Meaning that there is no time to actually do meaningful work. You prepare all these presentations and chances are they won’t even get looked at properly. It’s a management technique to make sure you are doing work. -Planning and project management is shocking is this department meaning that associates have a terrible work/life balance (Your attempts to change this will be met with scorn). -No leadership. People get promoted by being good at Procurement, NOT by having good leadership, management, project management or creative skills. Resultantly There is a culture of management by fear and dictatorship. -Toxic atmosphere. No one is happy and people go home crying. People join and will leave within a year. Staff turnover is incredibly high. -Bullying. A lack of emotional intelligence means that bullying is rife in this department. It goes unpunished despite numerous formal complaints. -Stuck in the old days. This company is so resistant to change. Largely because of the culture of fear and not being able to share ideas without being shot down.

Arrogant....and lost

Pros

Discontinued employee pensions but, according to a senior executive, "Honda's decision wasn't as bad as that of other companies?" Still have health benefits.....for now.

Cons

Certain vital administrative functions are denigrated and de-resourced to the point of nonexistence. Spending half a billion dollars on HondaJet. Good luck making a profit on that... Spending hundreds of millions on F1...again. Obsolete enterprise systems patched together with standalone spreadsheets makes effective project management and coordination virtually impossible.

Pros

New facility, cool product, ok benefits, new technology, decent hours, aerospace industry, breaking into the aviation market with a very fuel conservative alternative engine.

Cons

Uniforms even for office personnel, structure of the company, micro management, no sick days, very low morale, people are willing to work hard but get no recognition.
