      Pros

      The pace at which you are expected to work and perform is relentless, as much a factor of the automotive components industry as it is the Lear culture. If you accept it and work with it, it will prepare you for whatever other endeavors you may undertake in your career and, quite possibly, your personal life.

      Cons

      The behavior and demeanor of many of the executives, at some of the locations, are, at times, less than professional in front of other employees and subordinates, never in front of the customers. This does not promote a satisfying work environment, much less a proffesional one. Also, process is often sacrificed in the name of expediency.

      Work/Family balance excellent, but there is a price to be paid for it.

      Pros

      In the area that I work, the ability to balance work and family life is excellent. I have never held a job in which I've been able to have this much flexibility. That in itself offsets a lot of other issues with the personnel decisions they make. Generally, the employees are fairly close knit as well. There are attempts to have "fun" days such as "Michigan vs. Michigan State Day," and even a few on site employee luncheons.

      Cons

      Lear lays off employees at an alarming rate, even in the profitable times. They are also very short term thinkers, and seemingly rely on the stock performance to make their decisions rather than what is truly best for the product and the expertise. Lear seems to ignore true technological advances in favor of saving a penny, even if the investment in that technology will save them money in the long run. Training is given lip service, but it has always been difficult to get external courses like software training or SAE development courses approved. It again fits the profile that Lear is not at all interested in the technological expertise that they have at their disposal, nor do they want to feed it.
