Pros

Good benefits, good hotels if having to travel for the convention

Cons

The employee morale is AWFUL HR is a mess. They have favorites. Management has favorites Very "clickish" environment Work hours are 8:30 a.m., to 4:45 p.m. (and don't be late)! No opportunities for growth Old school culture "Good ol' Boy" system Doesn't operate as a typical trade association. More like a copirate America giant who could care less. No opportunities for telecommuting. Lay-offs are very typical here.

Unprofessional and drama filled

Pros

Many good individuals and teams that do great work for the auto industry. The CEO is great, and NADA offers flexible hours, good benefits, competitive pay, and encourages continuing training/education, etc. The middle management I dealt with was reponsive and supportive, so I had mixed feelings about leaving.

Cons

Poor upper management with inconsistent policies/procedures, who tolerate (even seems to encourage) unprofessional behavior from some very disrespectful employees. Certain members of upper management tend to make decisions based on limited background information. And yes, I left of my own accord-so this is not a case of sour grapes. Some newer members of upper management seem bound and determined to tear apart a basically good organization, which is sad. I couldn't watch it anymore. I left before I became a target.

Amateur Hour

Pros

37.5 hour work week, pay is low but reasonable when first out of school, low expectations of staff. Decent leave program. Good work-life balance. 401k match was excellent (it's been reduced). It used to be a place where you could work for your entire career and retire with employer-paid healthcare for life (no longer).

Cons

Pay is horridly low. I left for a non-management role and received a 20% raise. Upper and middle management is completely out of touch with staff. It is so bad that a number of years ago, they were required to attend an all-day training course where they learned how to listen to their staff (seriously). Employees are not valued, no matter their years of service. During my tenure, they let go staff with over 30 years of service to save a buck... Which they promptly spent on servers... Which they never used (see another review... It's true). One year, they gave everyone about a 1% raise... And threw an ice-cream social to thank everyone 'for their hard work.' A story to illustrate my experience: I never had a backup for my job (despite my constant warnings that they needed to get one for me)... Until I submitted my resignation. Magically, one was assigned the same day... I spent the last two weeks documenting my job (as no one else knew it and I did not want my successor to have to learn via failures like I did) and provided a copy to my boss and another to my (newly assigned) backup... I ran into my replacement two years later... I offhandedly commented about the documentation I wrote, to which he said that management gave him nothing and told them that I left without documenting anything. The sad thing is that upper management seriously things that they are changing for the better (to remain competitive) and that they listen well to their staff. The truth is that they simply are taking benefits away (no job security, 401k match reduced, constant micromanagement over things that don't matter (e.g. Failure to arrive exactly at 8:30am daily), etc.) without compromising on their part (no increases in pay, telework options, flex hours, etc.).
