Pros

Relatively easy job if you have half a brain, know cars and the car industry. Something different every day. Great job if you like to get paid to travel. Great PTO, even in year 1.

Cons

Low pay. Archaic and troublesome equipment. Poor scheduling. Feast or famine workload. Healthcare is an overpriced joke. Expected to perform at 100% in any and all weather conditions (-15 degrees). Management pushes back on any input contrary to their current belief and feeds you loads of corporate BS being shoved down their throats by upper management.

Pros

Some of the employees are very friendly, approachable and helpful.

Cons

Micromanagement from management, not trusted to do your job. Managers are too thinly spread with too many people reporting to them, they can't effectively do their role. Some management and employees act unprofessionally and there is no consequence. Too many corners cut and shortcuts taken to try save money. HR are brutal, so don't expect support there. Any complaints you make will fall on deaf ears. No appreciation for employees when they work overtime, work through lunch, stay late or fix an issue, not even a thank you. Working environment is quite toxic at times and people are constantly leaving.

Pros

- Being a multinational company, there's a chance of being sent abroad for training or for work there. - lots of trainings provided (for product knowledge but not on skill development)

Cons

- managers are very unprofessional and some of them don't even know what they are doing, sometimes their subordinates know more - too much office politics - toxic environment - DEFINITELY NO WORK LIFE BALANCE - employees come and go - benefits aren't that good - HR programs are poor
