Vantaggi
Good salaried benefit program. Unusual work hour policy that encourages longer hours M - Th and 1/2 day Friday.
Svantaggi
Only connected, Spanish people are placed in upper management positions (Plant Manager spots and above). There is a definite policy to hire people at the lowest possible salary, get as much out of them as possible and then cut them loose if they have a mind of their own and question any management decisions. On the engineering side, engineering design changes to respond to customer problems or save money, are made almost on the basis of "throw it on the wall and see if it sticks". Thorough testing is nonexistent. There are very few IE's on staff. Standard work processes, if determined by engineering, are constantly being tinkered with and changed at the whim of any members of management who think they have a better idea. The paperwork never seems to catch up with all these changes, to the point that when there is a problem, Manufacturing cannot point to the correct design/assembly method with 100% certainty. This will cause disaster when recalls take place. Lastly, the "approved" method of handling employees who ask too many questions or express any concern about management decisions, is termination. The atmosphere is not good and really discourages openness and true teamwork.
