Pros

- Good pay for the location - Great benefits - Easy to shine if you have the ability to build relationships and are a hard worker with some intelligence - Pride in Honda name - Definitely not uptight work environment (can be fun actually) - I like the people I work with - Hopeful of future improvements

Cons

- Lots of fingerpointing and backbiting - Terrible relationships between departments - I don't understand alot of Senior Level management decisions and they don't explain them well - Vertical growth (promotions) are limited and often the decisions seem questionable - Not much flexibility if you're on the assembly line - Very little accountability - Seemingly, simple changes take way too long (if they happen at all) - There is definitely a "Grass is Greener" syndrome here. Not much appreciate for what we have, only what others perceive is better somewhere else.

Pros

Medical and dental benefits Company promotes from within

Cons

Company promotes from within Inflexible attendance policies for salaried employees and hourly employees No sick time Different policies and benefits within the U.S.A. at different plants Unreasonable workload on salaried employees Points are assigned when you are late or leave early if you choose to do so without using "Paid Time Off" (salaried and hourly employees) A great deal of time wasted creating presentations Decisions not made quickly, if at all Managers not accessible as they are in meetings all day, most days Unreasonable timelines for projects

Pros

*No lay-offs in the history of the plant *Solid benefits *Brand new plant; clean *Stable place to work *Legitimately some good people to work with *Great place for assembly line workers to grow and mature within the company *Great place for newly graduated engineers to get work experience *You don't have to choose what to wear to work, because you wear uniforms *Free pair of work boots every year

Cons

*Minimal pay raises/increases, with no encouragement to try harder *They emphasize being on "one team", but, no such evidence of actual application of this principle *Feedback system is majority in negative format - not so much "good job", but "this is why this didn't work" *No real choice in your career path. They place you where they want you, and you have no clue how to work towards a position that you're interested in *Very strict with a vague set of rules. No established departmental policy - every policy is verbal, with nothing documented for reference, like the associate handbook is *No clear-cut way to show how you can advance within company *Poor job/career mapping. No one knows how to advance, outside of "do very well" for your performance review, but vague goals. *You do not feel like you are a vested interest within the company. *No true interest in technical employee advancement (They will not pay for you to go back to school, with no plans on ever doing so)
